[Fastfasulli]

Hi, I find your story surprising. I have been running P4's (currently with the Lucas pads in - from Chaz), 916 master cylinder, single disk, standard issue (free) shell brake fluid and had no pro blem with brakes at all. I ran consistently in the top 10 last season and had no brake problems in the rounds that I have attended this year. I have also run Bendix pads and had no issues.
Maybe I'm not going fast enough :-)

Harriet runs a single disk, she is going fast enough.

Of course going fast could be the secret to not wearing your brakes out!!

Although not as fast as Harriet, I also use a single disc. And we both use Vesrah pads, which are absolutely amazing and are the key to longevity and performance. I am just coming to the end of my first set of pads this season, which have the races at Snetterton, Mallory, Oulton, Cadwell and Castle Combe, together with trackdays at Cadwell, Brands and Rockingham without any issues. They would probably last for Cadwell 2 as well, but I'm scared of them falling out when they get too thin...

I get my Vesrahs from Kurveygirl.com in the States, but Harriet will be able to tell you a UK stockist. The Bendix pads are quite good, but wear out too fast. I used a set per race on the 996.

Harriet also weighs approx half the weight of most of us ....
