Brake Project and Interest: AP Racing CP9668/9660 Kit

thekinn

Every Pagid pad that I've used on front or rear has chunked off into pieces. They can't take the heat (no ducting for me). (RS29, RS19, RS2-4)

I'd have to look up your model #'s for the Hawk and PFC to be sure of the compounds.. but I've had great success with those brands. DTC-60 front and PFC-01 rear respectively (they don't make the PFC-01 any longer.. unfortunately)

I'll be trying a different Ferodo this weekend (1.11 i think). The first Ferodo (ds2500) held up to the heat, but didn't perform to my liking (as a rear pad).

I've been considering switching to Ferodo in the future just from the good things I've heard on longevity from other forums too. What was lacking with the DS2500 on the rear? Too low friction, too low operating temps?

As a quick update on the kit, I'm getting caliper bolts in today, to mount the caliper to the brackets. Should be able to test fit this week! This weekend is busy, and I'm still waiting on my R12s to come in, so likely looking at the first week of August for initial street tests.

Once the pads were warmed up, the friction was too low. Bias shifted to my fronts and was getting lockups in the front (DTC-60s, Dunlop Star Spec III tires). So, I could have adjusted more bias to my fronts (I removed ABS and have a proportioning valve to adjust rear bias).. but I feel like I'm already putting a lot of load on the front.. so I'm trying a different Ferodo compound on the rear. The DS2500's withstood the heat fine.. ie. they didn't crack apart like the Pagids.

Everyone's situation is going to probably be a little different. You may have to try out some different things to match what works for you and your setup.
