[s-cars] For Those of You Who have BIRA'ed

[JenRob]

i have tried two different street pads on my bira sys 3. IMHO do not 
purchase the mintex red box pads, not very impressive. i have used the hawk 
hp and hps pads. the hps being noisier, but better friction when heated up. 
good place for repl rotors would be ecs tuning.  - rob
