IMO A1RMs are crossover pads. Like DS2500 or EBC Golds.

What's required in each circumstance will depend mostly on the cars weight, power, brake characteristics and how hard the driver is pushing. Any pad suggestion that isn't based on those four inputs is unreliable.

I agree to a point, Castrol react srf racing fluid in the Evo got me to 20 laps of Sandown before the 800 degree pads turned to lava and sprayed all over the rim. Still had good bite though, not very spongy even when stupidly hot.

Fluid plays a big part, but be careful mixing brake fluids, always run extra through to flush the old fluid out.

    • Cheers Lith! You're right, it's entirely possible that there's other reasons for the low compression. It's off to the shop soon, skipping borescoping etc and just getting it out and apart, we'll see what it looks like then.
    • Wanted to clean the film behind the triple gauge so the lights show through better.  Progress so far….
    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.
