Pads for Sport Package Daily and Track with OEM rotors

Germanguy · 05-17-2012, 05:02 PM

Hi, im going to install the stillen brake cooling Kit soon. Id like to Change the pads also. I goNna Track and Daily the car. A Dealer Told me the project mu ns pads Suizid Be good. What would you recommend?

I use EBC Yellow. They dust more than OEM, and sometimes make a little noise when they are cold but otherwise work well on the street and are pretty good on the track. They are also fairly inexpensive.

For track use the carbotech xp12 up front and either the xp10 or xp12 at the rear depending on how much rear brake you want.

for street the carbotech 1521 are much better than the stock pads, but will not handle continuous lapping at the track without overheating.

here is a link to the different carbotech compounds

There are some bad posts about the EBC yellow on track. Im not interested in inexpensive solutions for my safety at least.

What about project mu?

I have the B-specs -- I like them. A bit squeally occasionally when cold, otherwise much better bite than OEM and low dust.

Also, if you haven't already done it, I highly recommend getting SS brake lines. That makes a really noticeable difference in braking performance.

What about the project mu
b-spec or hc+?

Are the hc+ too noisy? They seems to have good breaking power!

I've use the project mu pad ns type.

Seem to be ok.

But at the moment my z rotor is wraped.

Going to purchase the stoptech drilled and slotted type rotor.

Most members recommended it.

I don’t think anyone who knows what they are talking about is going to recommend drilled rotors.

Here is a shot of my old set of drilled and slotted Stop Tech rotors.

This. Unless you need to know where the rotor will crack.

How many miles do you have this?

Germanguy · 05-19-2012, 04:41 AM

I went with the Ferodo DS2500. Well see

It’s not really about miles. It’s about track days.

I believe it was my third track day and there were no visible cracks before the event.

Keep in mind this was in my previous G35 with Porterfield R4 pads. It’s amazing the abuse I put my G35 brakes through and never once boiled my fluid or experienced “ice mode”. And I was only running ATE Super Blue.

Sad to say, the 370Z’s ABS system is a regression compared the G35’s.

Carbotech XP8s here (DD)

Have about 900 miles on them. Still not a squeek yet. When cold, bite is about equal to OEM, much more bite than OEM when warm, way more dust, about 5x OEM.

Stock Rotors
