I have been using these for the last year or so with my stock brake setup. They work great and all, but the problem is the residual pressure. They drag WAAAAAAYYYY too much, and are overheating during a run. Do I need to buy an entire new master cylinder with adjustable residual? I am also still using the stock ABS block. If I ditch that, will that help? I would guess this problem is costing me about .07 to .1 in ET.

I just have them on the rear and they dont drag at all (aerospace on the front), sure the calipers are centered? Matter of fact if I take a wheel off the pads are lose in the rear and the front wheels turn like a 10 speed.. Stock master with power brake booster still.

But the rotors will get red hot after stopping from a 1/4 mile pass, smells like a clutch burning..

change the brake pads...when the brake pads get worn, they hold like that. We found out the hard way when the car was nearly impossible to push downhill...lol

damn, now you got me excited to get home to look, hahaha. I just always looked at it and figured that the brake pads needed to be worn down MORE because there was barely any room. Like I said, need to take closer look.
