Default LG Motorsports "G-Stop" Big Brakes - First test with Hawk Blues

RE:

I've never been able to lock up the fronts before. With the Blues and these rotors it's a lot easier than I figured it would be.

I'm so used to just stomping the pedal, even with Carbotech Panther Pluses, and the car stopping. I guess I'm gonna have to learn brake modulation, now.

What a terrible thing to have ... brakes that will actually work!

Next weekend ... 2 days at the track

Congrats, and looks like a great setup!

Just curious in regards to the never able to lock up the brakes comment - what were the specifics where you couldn't lock up the brakes - because even with stock brakes/pads you should be able to do this (cause the ABS to engage) - esp. if you are at lower speeds?

A hasty post ...

It was a bedding procedure (50-10) on a back road with some gravel.
