Brake pad recommendations

[Chris Kouba]

Fran/Gang-

Any recommendations as to what pads to try? General street use with occasional track time. P/N's?

Your gonna need to tell us what calipers and rotors are on the car.

Oh yeah, just assumed everyone would know... Sorry.

Call the Carbotech guys. Great group to work with and I have used their pads for track and street use for many years. My guess, in the Carbotech line, would be the 6s or the Bobcat. I use XP10s and XP12s for race use but they don't do squat at street temps.

Carbotech Performance Brakes: About Us

I just ordered up a few sets of XP10s for the Lola and the enduro use. They do offer pre-bedding (just tried it for the first time on the Lola pads, I'll report back results) and discounts to SCCA members.

They are very familiar with the calipers you have and will have recommendations.

I started out with Willwood "E" pads all the way around and have since changed to the "B" pad on the front as I went faster the lap times started to come down. This combiation wiil work on the street here in California but I don't know how the "B" would like a really cold day.

You might try the "Q" pad if you are mostly a street car at legal speeds. There are lots of other pads out there. These are what I have used.

I have Wilwood superlight's and HD 12.19 X 1.25 rotors all the way around with 17X8 & 17X10.5 wide street summer only radials.

I went with BP-10 (150-8854K) all around. Good street/performance pads.
Wilwood Superlite 6 pot calipers. Think this will be a good all around compromise.
