Street/ Track Brake Pads
 

Which brake pads for street and track events do you guys recommend?

Hawks HP
Hawks HPS
Ferodo
Carbon tech
DBA

Thanks,

I've done 6 trackdays on a set of EBC YellowStuff pads. Had no problems with them. Planning on changing to something else for next year.

Haven't seen many do both. Most will tell you to run different pads and scrub/rebed after use.

So. I asked. What pads are the MOST aggressive without squealing... If you don't mind the squeal, your choices are almost endless. Personally, I went with Project Mu pads. Aggressive without the squeal. B-Force or B-something (there is a JDM name and USDM name for "the same pads," and not Bestop) and NS400s for the rear. No issues, I think they're worth the price. (And you can occasionally get them for CHEAP)


Honestly, swap pads at the track though. It's a BIT of a pain, but it's not THAT bad

I run HP+ on street and track. They do excellent. I recommend them.

I'm a big carbotech fan. Great products and great company

Thanks, I was thinking of Hawks HP or BDA...

Hps suck worse than the oem pads..

Get dedicated street and track pads. Good street pads suck on the track and vice versa. It's an easy swap at the track or the night before.

I hear lots of complaints about HPS's. For one they are noisy as hell on street.

I just switched to endless mx72's and am loving them, but haven't had them long enough to comment other than so far fantastic.(but yeah very expensive)

I hear a lot of good things about Mu's.

Never hear anything bad about carbotechs.

raybestos ST47 for track and use stock for street.

project mu club racers if u want to run a single pad, I dd on this and track on them

I installed yellow stuff pads before tracking the in early October and they did great on the track. Off the track they squeak a little and make some dust but I'm happy with the performance of them.

I also use the Hawk HP+ pads just for race day. They squeal a tiny bit but their cold bite is great and they really did an awesome job I thought on AutoX AND the road course. My rotors are a bit noisy now and it looks like they definitely left some deposits or something on them but overall I'm still breaking fine. Hoping whenever these go that I can switch over to DBA 2 piece slotted rotors instead. All I have done for the track is the motul rbf600 fluid, hawk hp+ pads and z1 stainless steel lines.

Oh almost forgot.... One downside is they dust like CRAZY! But that's expected.

I highly recommend staying away from hp+ for road coarse I fade those pads in 2 laps threw then away
