[DeTomaso] Brakes!

[Doug Braun]

Asa,

	The R4S pads are nearly ideal for Autocross.  They work well when stone
cold and are very predictable as they heat up which is what you want in an
Autocross pad.  I would guess that over 50% of the Autocrossers in the Puget
Sound area use them without any problems.

This brings me to an interesting question.  I just got my Porterfield
R4S pads for the Pantera.  A note on the invoice says the R4S pads are
-not- for racing use.  So does that mean sanctioning bodies won't
accept them? Or does that mean there is a specific performance
characteristic that is not suitable to the track?  If a person wanted
to autocross their driver Pantera, would these be the wrong pads to
have?  And if so, what would be the better recommendation?
