I love my KVR's and ATE Superblue. I'll be installing SS lines when I get the money. It's almost unnerving how much I feel in the pedal now! -Andy Andy W. The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

I'm going to run a different brake ducting idea, so there will be some difference there as well. Running the ducts under the a-arms lets them wear away under hard braking in 10a. The KVR's I had were great...I don't know why other people have issues with them, maybe a different batch of compound or different bedding in procedures...

It's about expending energy and pads are the first line of defense. Find me a pad that will be up in the .55 Cf, last forever, not be noisy, and be dust free. We'll all get rich. Ceramics are pretty good, but you must get rich first. Geoff C. Turner 99 Black SVT -mine 99 Blue SE V6 ATX -mom's 96 Black SE MTX -sister's All with 278mm front rotors

The R-4 is a race pad, and the R-4S is a high performance street pad. R-4 costs $189 for front set R-4S costs $89 for front set. I will have to decide which to go with....
