Hey Kevin. I noticed you were ripping up the track with the Cayman.... Nice!

How did the pads hold up on that car, I can imagine you were able to carry a lot more speed into turns, with very little braking...

Also... I noticed that e36 and e46 were ripping on the F... Where they stock or fully built?

Hey Paul,

I used stock pads on my Cayman S. I usually run Pagids but used up my last set and had a new OEM set laying around. That was my 2nd event on those stock pads and the fronts were completely gone by the end. A new pad is 12mm and by the end of the event the inner edge thickness was 6mm and outer edge thickness 1mm. Pagids last much longer and provide a much firmer brake pedal.

Yes the e36 and e46 M3s were fully track prepped: r-compound tires, roll cage, seats/harness, gutted interiors, suspension, lightweight wheels, brakes, etc. There was no way I could keep up with them. The IS-F with its weight in stock form and stock tires/brake pads had no chance. Still had a good first time in the IS-F. I will be taking the IS-F again in the future but will only run with track pads here on out.
