Experienced Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,099 Joined: 14-October 06 From: Mobile, Al Member No.: 1,410	I am doing the Power Tour long haul this year. I am signed up for the qualifier in Arlington Tx. I have a new set of street tires on the car(300 tread wear) I can get by with those, the brake pads are what I am worried about. I bought the best ceramic pads Oreilly had so they wouldn't dust my wheels up, I did the autocross in Muskegon and they did ok. I don't have ny brake ducts either. I had my Carbotech XP 12/10 fronts and the 8's for the rear sent to my hotel.....do I need to put them on? The Optima deal is Autocross Stop Box Eagle Canyon road course(1 lap at a time) Will I be ok with the ceramic pads??????????? Or switch to the Carbotech's? Need some input quick.
