Hi everybody.
A little over a year ago, Cobalt Friction developed a brake compound that was specifically intended for drifting purposes, called the D1 pad. This pad is similar to the already marketed Cobalt GT Sport, with extremely high initial torque, and no need for warming before achieving full bite. The difference is that the D1 pad has better fade resistance to allow for left foot braking throughout the entire run, with no change in pedal feel. Cobalt was worried though that the market wasn't big enough, so they didn't go into production on them, and have recommended the GT Sport for drifting purposes.
I've been prodding them for a while about the pad, and they have agreed to do a trial production run of 20 sets of front pads for the 240SX. Since my company has only been in business for about three weeks now, I don't have the cash to front all 20 sets, so I'm looking for people who are interested in trying them out. I'm willing to cover the extra money associated with such a small run, so I'll sell them for the same price as the GT Sports. If I can get 10 pre-orders, I'll give them the go ahead to start production on the trial run. So is anybody interested in giving them a try?
Also, for those of you who use the GT Sport, have any of you ever had fade or any other problems? Please let me know your thoughts.
