What pads do you have on the car?

Normal "street" pads have a coefficient of friction of .3-.4. Race pads might have as high as a .5-.6, almost doubling the friction, which almost doubles the stopping with the same pedal pressure/ line pressure. Keep in mind some may not have a good coefficient until warmed up.

It is definitely worth finding out what the coefficient of friction of your pads are, though I agree that 800 is low.





Thanks for the response Wade. To answer your question ; the brake set-up currently has whatever SSBC provides with their conversion package and there's not much information on their website. I suspect that the pads are nothing special....

I've purchased a set of Hawk HPS pads and will have the rotors resurfaced a few thou for cleanup before reassembly but want to address the low line pressure as well.
