What is your current brake setup? I would make sure your rear brakes are contributing enough before replaced the fronts, unless they are stock now maybe?

I had the opposite problem with my brakes Friday night. My car has been off the whole way down the track both outings this year, turns out my brakes are dragging. My best run by a good margin was one where I pulled the brake pedal up with my foot once I got in 2nd gear.



These are my current front brakes. I have a proportioning valve full open to the rears which are SVO Ford disc brakes from Dr. Diff. I turned off at the first turn out (my fault) both passes, but I think the car is too heavy for the current MPH and these brakes. I haven't inspected them yet. If the pads are still good, I might reconsider.

I saw some guys on Facebook talking about the Wilwood Polymatrix pads and how much better they work. Going to try them and see if they are better.
