Took my grandson to his Go Kart League Race for the first time in the Cayman GTS and have to figure it could be good luck as he qualified on the " Pole " and won his first race of the Season! Some pics of he and grandpa leaving to go fulfill the need for speed!

I track mine and street drive them as well. My don't really squeal on the street. I think it's because I added a set of these during the install.blueline wrote: Sat May 30, 2026 7:29 pm
Be prepared for them to squeal for the last 10-20 feet of a street driving stop - mine do anyway. The squeal is often absent fresh off the track if I've been able to burnish them a bit, but street use stopping will wear off much of the pad material resulting in a bit of squeal in slow, traffic laden stop and go conditions. (They don't squeal at all on track and they don't utter a peep under full, heavy braking.)

Also kind of act like anti-squeal plates / brake shims.

Intriguing. Did you perchance have any squealing prior to using these shields or have you used them from the start with your Ferodo pads? I noticed that the shields are marketed as a heat-reducing add-on (always a good thing) and am guessing the squeal reduction is an unexpected bonus.marin wrote: Fri Jun 12, 2026 9:40 amI track mine and street drive them as well.

My squeal isn't that bad at all and, as I mentioned before, is only at the very end of street stops. It's from the front rotors only best I can tell.
There's nary a peep on track or even when pulling in the pits to a slow stop. I believe that's likely due to having redeposited a good burnish with proper and hard track braking. Plus, the rotors are extremely hot. However, that complete lack of squeal will go away after a dozen or so regular street stops. I'm not wild about the noise but I've learned how to navigate street stops mostly squeal-free via PDK downshifts and judicious, light touch brake pedal play.

I've always had them on from the start. I bought them for the heat reduction.blueline wrote: Fri Jun 12, 2026 2:11 pmIntriguing.

I do occasionally get street squeals. And like you said, it's only a little bit at the very end of street stops.
No squeals at the track, even in the pits.

Ferodo and stock rotors ( at least for now ) and no squeal on the street. I have been super impressed with the 3.12s as I have used ( and even tested ) a ton of pads and these babies are terrific all around.
Thanks to blueline and J-Dub for their suggestions on the 3.12s

Participated in PCA-UCR Grand River South tour. Approximate 3 hour drive through some twisty roads I never knew existed only an hour from my home, culminating in a visit and lunch at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum.
We were originally to park and have pics with our cars and plane on the runway area but due to lightning and heavy rain forecast that was shelved.
The Spitfire was a lot smaller than I had imagined they would be as was the tiny “bubbles” where the gunners sat exposed on a Lancaster bomber at the museum.

I remember the first time I saw the bubble where the belly gunner of a B-17 resided and it shocked me alot since that was my father's position in the Flying Fortress. Fortunately he never made it over to either theatre as WWII ended. Great picture of your Cayman next to some higher flying machines as I imagine you spent the day with a good amount of low level flying, ha?!
P Coastal I need to update my Passport so I could drive up to Canada and our two twins could cruise around the Provonce of Ontario. Nice picture , though I may be a tiny bit partial to a Chalk colored Porsche!
