Do tell... the last time I tracked, I just kept the stockers on the rear. Interested to hear your experience. Maybe I will change up.

buy some new rotors too, the pads will destory them, especially if you get it really hot

no, road courses... they work reasonably well at low temps, so I don't think they'd be bad at ax, but you may want to ask folks that regularly ax for input if you're at all serious about it... gl

When I track I use Porterfield R4. but then daily driving Im still on stocks but when they do run out I will buy the most expensive pad at Autozone. And then Rape the warranty on it.

Nothing beats lifetime warranty.

I ran brembo fm1000s with my front brembo gt calipers (2500 equivalents that came with them) and 2500 rears at CMP and wore them 95% down in two days. Don't get those for the rear, match the fronts. These cars really use the rear brakes

So what would be one step up from the stocker pads? Something suitable for street / auto-x without noise and chewing up the rotors.

Carbotech bobcat, hp+, or ebc yellow stuff

cossie1600 08-05-2010 05:36 AM
Do not get the HP+ if you don't want to change rotors, they will destroy them. I went through 2 sets of Carbotech XP10s on my 350 with the same rotor. I had to replace them as soon as I used HP+.

I heard the Bobcat makes a lot of noise

RCZ 08-05-2010 08:58 AM
Sadly, HP+ will chew through the rotor. I wish they didn't because they have such good cold bite. They are perfect for autoX.

The Nismo pads are great on the street. If you are a novice driver on the track they are also just fine. Once you move up to blue though you will need to upgrade. I will be replacing my Nismo brakes with the Hawk DTC-60's for the first time and track them early next month. Everyone who runs the 60's just loves them and they are rotor friendly.

Anyone else using Nismo pads??

Doubtful. They're overpriced and a marginal improvement at best over stock pads.
