I enjoyed ferodo dsUNO for a while. Loved the pad. No complaints for a race pad besides some chunking when it gets to backing plate thickness. Switched to Cobalt Friction and I run their XR1 pads up from and XR3 pads in the rear. I tend to leave my rear pads in for the street (lazy) but swap the fronts to Ferodo DS2500s. The theory on track is you want a less aggressive pad in the rear becaue when you brake, there is weight shifting off of the rear and you can lock up the rear brakes before the front, creating some imbalance. Makes sense on paper and I haven’t deviated from that advice.

So...my lexan windshield has been bowing a bit (actually it happens with a loud bang) at 120mph+. So, I need to add some sort of brace. Any ideas that will not be too visually distracting?

Maybe two small diameter aluminum rods wrapped in a soft black velour. With dual rods you could probably get away with smaller diameter and thereby less distracting.

in a similar vein.. what do people run in rear to pair with DS 1.11 up front? I'm running an ap9668 shape up front with 1.11s and ran 1.11s in back. i did have some squirliness on hard braking, wondering if that's partly the rears locking up from too much pad back there?

I think as long a the front BBK matches the same oem torque values of the oem system you are fine running the same compound front and rear or with a lesser aggressive rear pad.
