HAHA, I am very hard on pads. I got through a set of redstuff in 80 miles on track and a set of greenstuff in 4 weeks on the road.
I find the Carbo's fine.
I posted up a while ago about this but am still struggling on finding an answer. I have some rear rebuildable shocks off Skywalker and am picking the fronts up soon. These will be fitted with my TRD inserts I have. Upon taking the rear shocks apart one was fitted with a KYB insert and the black nut ...
Massive thumbs up for Carbotechs from me. Had them on for a while now and not a bad word on the performance side to say about them.
They have never squeeked as some people find.
They are dusty though, only downside though.
I have heard nothing but good things about the Hankook RS2 tyres. They are sold by camskill and are marketed as a track tyre but are usable on the road. Heard a few say they have nearly the same grip as Toyo 888's when warm plus they don't wear that fast. Thats what is going on my set of 16's when r...

Greenstuff pads are not good. They will die very quickly on track.
Splash out and get some Carbotech pads and run them on plain discs, don't bother with grooved or drilled.
For running in keep well away from any good oil! You want cheap almost crap oil, the reason being you want things to bed in and thus not good oil. Change it after 100 and 500 miles.Both oil and filter. After this you can get slightly better oil and leave it in for 1000 miles. You can then step up to...
Yes, wear to bearing will cause and increse in friction and thus reduced pump speed resulting in loss of flow. It wold not make a difference to a point but after that you would be losing out on flow. My feeling is if there is a grumble or noise the bearings are shot and on the way out.
