the brembo's / base braes have similar stopping distance... but the brembo's will hold better on the track...
Check out the NISMO Brake Pads. Less Dust, Better Braking...

I'll quit being **** about cleaning my wheels when I do my pre-track bleedings! Should I also forget about a brake duct cooling kit? As it may blow away the dust?
Question? Should I leave the "chunks of rubber" for a "textured" look?

Speaking of which, have you received your cooling kit yet? Nick emails or calls me once in a while with an update but I paid for that kit in July or August and still haven't seen it.
Btw, I'm still amazed whenever I pull the wheels off the car at how many rolled up bits of rubber I find all over the place. Someday I'll start collecting them and by the end of the track season, I bet I'll be able to make a brand new set of Hoosiers from them! Incidentally, I actually remove those because some of them are so big, they can throw off my wheel balance (not that my wheel balance lasts more than a few sessions anyway with the whole tire rotating around on the wheel!).

No, get the brake kit as it will give the brake dust a cool, marbled, wind-swept look that is very popular these days

Nothing to report on Nick's kit. I also get emails occasionally. Nothing new on his web site either......I know it will be a front kit, but have you heard if he's working on the rears? BJ's also working on a kit.
I also find chunks of rubber in all kinds of nooks and crannies!
Let me know how the NEW Hoosiers are coming along.....

I don't think Nick has any plans on doing a rear kit but the rotor temps are much lower back there (even though pads only last 3-4 days). It would be cool to get a little bit more air to the rear as well.
I did not know BJ was working on a kit either - but for now, I'll give Nick the benefit of the doubt. I won't be back on the track for many months anyway.

I personally have an old sheepskin Mitt which is no longer used to clean the car which is now relegated to RIM cleaning.
