Great day out at AHG today, brakes are very nice, it is not so much that they brake harder you just dont need to apply as much pedal pressure, when fully on it activating the ABS it still feels settled so no bias issues two thumbs up here for AP and Godspeed.

No they pull up harder you just don't have to stand on them, with the old 4 pots you really had to stand on them down the end of the straight, now you just have to apply half the pressure, I was doing some silly late braking and the car was very stable, I was worried that it may upset the balance of the car but it hasn't. Last time out there I was doing 63's, today I could do 61's and it felt alot easier on the car.

Dino gave me a few laps with the new brakes. Excellent! Braking was verrry good with greatly reduced pedal pressure. There's no gyroscopic effect, the rotors aren't THAT big so as to cause problems in that area. Sorry about the grass in the cabin, Dino!!!

Will do, and the best bit is it'll really annoy Bourke. PM you're mobile and I'll give you a call when I'm going.
