What is the kit and what is it supposed to do????

 

X2???????

 

My guess is some sort of hold off to keep the pads off the disc, reducing the drag.
I have heard of drag racers sticking to drums in front because of drag/friction issues.
Not sure how this kit would accomplish this though.

 

Must make an absolute imperceptible difference in 1/4 mile times.
But if it makes them feel faster......p

 

Yep, probably makes 'em feel better!

 

Harold that is basically it.
Springs and shims to hold back pads off rotor for racing application

 

There was a recent thread here about the very same thing. A guy was using small springs to back the pads away from the rotors. It was a set up he had put together,and he was using it on a drag car. Don't remember who posted it but it was within the last 2-3 weeks I think. Mike D.

 

Thanks Mike
