were you at Putnam the weekend of July 25th? I think I saw your car... and hauler... nice setup!

Brake options are all over the place. If you are running stock pads/fluid with r-comp tires, I'd say your brakes will start fading. Like everyone said... pads plus fluid are a good start. There are some very good pads out there for the 986/987 platform, so take your pick, but I would suggest looking at Endless RF-650 for your fluid... incredible stuff. Porsche is putting it OEM into the RSR after Matheny (Sp?) started to use it a few years ago.

Thanks again!!!

Cool, my Dad has a Cayman S dedicated track car that we are always testing out new mods on, anything you would recommend? We just ordered new headers, exhaust and intake for it, so I'm excited to see how those mods turn out..
