I need to learn more about Carbotech. Hawks are getting too expensive. Also, I'm tired of how corrosive the dust from the Blues is. It eats away at everything!

Panther XP
Panther +
Bobcats
I just put on the bobcats for street and although I have not noticed performance difference there is a huge dust difference, it has decreased a lot.
The Panther + are similar to the Hawk Blues, I used them at Sebring and worked great although not cheap, around 130-140, don't know how that compares to the Blues.

Sorry to revive an old thread,
but slay2k, if you need help locating events where you can use your stock Z, let me know. I do alot of solo1/2 in the north east and usually have an event lined up every 2 weeks from may till november (winter is rally season, so it never ends).
I saw your post where you say that you got discouraged by SCCA road-race rules.....well you are very far from roadracing so dont worry about that yet (it probably wont be in your Z anyway).
Kayaalp, you're in montreal? I am also. you should come out to the solo events around here. pm me for more info
regards,
Liam
