Then either they stopped including 2 of them or you got some custom lines.

Even on the product page it says 4 lines. The pic, however, shows 6.

I would use those as they work well on the street, providing more stopping power, and once they heat up on the track, you'll get even more braking power.

Thanks Jurrian,

I think Cool Carbons are at the top of my wish list. Just have to reaserch it a bit further with them to make sure the sensors will connect without having to go modify stuff.

I'll be in touch when the time comes to pull the trigger.

Thanks for everyones inputs,
Cheers

I've tried SS lines and cc pads and had problems with the pads both on track (N-ring) and on the street. After a while on the track the car had a lot of vibration when pushing the brakes and reduced braking power. I've read that other forum members have experienced similar problems with these pads. Will go for pure track pads next time.

Edit: and they squeal too
