Since I am a member of SCCA I often get a lot of racing catalogs. So last week I get this sale flyer from a racing parts outfit. It had on the cover announcing they are now a national stocking distributor for Hawk Brake racing brake pads. I looked it over and they had a small cross reference section. In there is a listing for 80-85 Vanagon. Now you can get racing brake pads for the Vanagon! I believe they listed the Vanagon because they are the same pads used by certain Porsches, Alfas, Mercedes and Ferrari. They are available in two competition and one high performance street compounds. One competition pad is for 600F-1400F range and the other is for 400F-900F. The street pad is for 100F-900F. Prices are $83.31, $88.75 and $71 respectively. Now all you have to do is switch to a higher temperature brake fluid and go Vanagon racing! ;-) Jonathan jdove@gsvms2.cc.gasou.edu
