I ran with super sports which are kind of grippy at temp. But I was definitely getting abs to kick in if i was braking too abruptly. I started to avoid this by braking in a more modular fashion instead of romping on the pedal. The like to be pressed firmer a pedal travel increases.

I held off on rcomps for a while. I thinnnk I should get a set now. Currently hinting down some 18" apex arc-8's

Are you also of the opinion that our cars don't need bbk's? It's weird how well they do with pads and good brake fluid.

Pardon typos. On ipwn.
