Mantis, I fully understand how they work and have driven cars with them and played with them. I just don't own a pair. The kinetic friction constant (Fc) is much closer to the static friction constant (Fs) so when they do slip they are still pulling almost as hard as if they were locked up. The Fc of the stock pads are a good bit lower than the Fs so when they slip you loose a good chunk of pull. If I had to roughly assign a Mu number to the stock pads and the Garodisks I'd say its something like this:
Garo Static: 0.85
Garo Kinetic: 0.70
Stock Static: 0.75
Stock Kinetic: 0.50
On that b44, did you decouple it or leave it stock?
