i felt like my hydro wasn't locking well either, and it cost me huge on entry and downhill moments. i run the ksport but i dont fault that. I have stock nissan s13 calipers with duralast pads trying to lock up 265/18s (on 18x9.5 wheels) LMAO.

im upgrading the pads first, and if not good still, then calipers ASAP and then ill have a better understanding.

How you gonna run hydro ebrake with little 4 lug car brakes?
Click to expand...

haha yep.
 
i have the cnc hydro ebrake, with z32 rear brakes, brembo rotors, and hawk pads. my shit work great. locks up going 2mph.

its pretty much the same setup as zoli
 
I hyave stock cable e-brake with stock s14 calipers and Hawk pads. $84 for the pads and tighten the cable a bit before an event an It locks amazing, no slipage.

Don't forget that its not only about equipment. If you know how to use an e-brake all you need is some good pads.:bigthumbu

Well considering he had a bad wheel bearing the whole time and a hood pin holding his toe rod onto the knuckle he did really good and qualified 15th

You might want to see if that hood pin is still there. We cleared one off the track at one point. Oh... and I'll be looking for these issues at future events :) Keep telling me where to look, saves me time :)

i dont think so man, nothing i had was janky like that.

driving with a control arm barely held on is a totally different story than my unknown issue... we didnt even sleep the night before making sure it was 100% tech-able to our knowledge.

Calm down Skippy, just poking a little fun. There were a number of areas where folks could and did make improvements. The FD Pro-Am series is still very much in a development phase and is intended to build drivers up, not tear them down. We made sure that we had as much as possible on tap to assist folks ranging from a welder, safety equipment, tools, tire changers, even the FD Pro series helped us with some things. Just poking, not throwing punches. Everyone worked together well out there and I can't wait for the next event.
