I daily ST-43 and they squeak as expected. Need a good stop before they're at temperature. ST-47 would suck on the street. 2c

Used titanium shims coated with ceramic brake lube, for extra protection, worked great, even though the temperature was in the low 90s |

Pad experience needed
Well I do have questions for the experienced, I’m needing a new set of pads on my ‘17 1LE, I saw Matt mention the Raybestos. I once used a set on my racecar and they were phenomenal! However, due to the dust issue on OEM pads, I’m looking for a set that I can use on the street also without worrying about fade on track. (I know it’s a tall order). I’m happy with the track manners of OE pads actually and aren’t an issue on the street, just dust I’m tired of constantly cleaning up. I know hawk HPS+ Probably isn’t up to track work. (I smoked a new set once in short order) any feedback on a good all rounder w/o immense dust. Trade off is question, confidence for track, ability on street w/o squealing to put heat in.
BTW, using OE Goodyears |

Well, I did what I thought I’d have to do and just get a separate street & track pads... Just can’t go cheap like I was hoping to... I got a set of Hawk ceramics for the street, hopefully will take care of the nasty dusting issue with adequate street performance. Haven’t decided on the Hawk DTC60’s or the Raybestos. Any thoughts from the group on mixing manufacturers pads on same rotors? I’m used to one type on the racecar not switching around for a mixed street and occasional track time...
Input would be appreciated. |

Haw states specifically you can use any of their compounds on the same rotor without bedding EXCEPT ceramic. I was running the HPS5 and DTC60 combo for a while. But honestly, now I stay with the OEM pad. With fresh fluid, I haven't faded a pad yet.

Thanks for the pad wear estimates TrackClub!! Very helpful for planning how to get the most out of your pads while still remaining safe.

Regardless, i always check tires, rotors, pads and under the car for leaks after EACH run. Plus oil level and lug nuts torque at lunch after cool down. It is a good habit to develop and stick to. Cheers! |
