    Thanks! Turn 11 is definitely the most intimidating with the wall being not far off. That and coming down from triple digits!

    Raybestos ST43 Front Brembo pad slop

    Without the spring and calipers loosened off, the pad can move freely up and down

    Raybestos ST43 Front Brembo pad slop

    So the pad doesn't rest against either end of the caliper. It sits central held in position by the spring, which is held by the guide pins. This does seem like a lot of stress to put on those pins.On the other hand there does seem to be a number of people running these on the forum. I am...

    Raybestos ST43 Front Brembo pad slop

    I am kind of surprised this kind of information is only just coming to light! I feel more comfortable about running the pads now at least

    Raybestos ST43 Front Brembo pad slop

    Raybestos ST43 Front Brembo pad slop

    Installing some ST43 (that I purchased from a member on here) into the GT PP brembos. There is noticeable slop when the pad is in the caliper. The bad plate of the pad is smaller by ~2.5mm. Is this normal or do I have the wrong pads? The pads appear to have ST43R1291T16 on them, which when I...

    Extended studs for Magneride Mustangs

    So you went with the bolt on style spacer vs one that required extended studs? I was also wondering why more people weren't doing that. Wasn't sure if they aren't as strong or it is a weight thing
