Brakes and Physics.

[tiAn@usiw.net (Christian Els)]

Larry's right, race pads need heat to grab. You do not use your brakes hard
enough to heat race pads on your commute. No, really...

If you are undecided on this topic, try the Ferodo's Potterman sells, they
work great on VWs. Or ask Steve White how his Advance Auto Parts specials
held up this weekend.
--Steve?
