Best brake pads for track use?
My brake pads are absolutely gone and I'm looking for new pads that are good for both street and track. Should I go aftermarket? What would you guys suggest

Well yesterday was the first time but I'm 100% for sure taking it to the track again. As yesterday was my first time, I wasn't being super aggressive but I'm sure I'll be more aggressive next time. I daily drive the car though so I still need them to be good for daily use

You should also fully flush your brake and clutch fluid switching over to SRF. SRF is the gold standard for track use because the wet boil with SRF is higher than most other bands dry boil. SRF is lso the mot expensive t tart with, but because the wet boil is so high, it does not need t be completely changed out and over time the cost evens out. These is a lot more you want t do as you get involved in road course / HPDE activities, but stopping is always more important than being fast. Let me know how can help as you grow into your new addiction. |

Yep, nothing like coming into a corner and the brakes going mushy...
I destroyed my zl1 brake pads ... Went to hawk 60s ... Defiantly don't street them ... Loud and whiney... Took a lot of silicon grease and the backing plates from my stock rears... To get them quiet, grease turned to ash after one session http://s221.photobucket.com/user/JBo...nyov4.mp4.html Last edited by Crash76; 06-25-2016 at 06:58 PM. |

Embrace the squeal, the sound of real brakes.

I run HT-10s now but Pete you mentioned to me to rum DTC-70s all round. 135+ mph stopping on the track I favor on the main straight.

I hadn't considered the 70/60 setup for the Hawks but that makes perfect sense as the rear can get pretty light under really hard braking and downright scary sometimes when trail braking during corner entry!
BTW! If you don't want to change your pads before and after every track day, IMHO, the Hawk Plus pads aren't too bad but are really dusty. Stay away from the StopTech street/track pads. The StopTechs are as noisy and squealy as race pads but will cook like stock pads. Scott |

What is the correct part number for the Hawk HTC-70 front pads on a 2011 Camaro SS. Hawks website is saying HB726U.582, but Phastek Performance is saying HB453U.585 . I plan on ordering some, but don't want to get the wrong part and play that game. Thanks in advance. Also if anyone can confirm HTC-60 for the rear that would be great as well. Is HB194G.570 correct?

i like 70/60 for stock calipers and 70/70 for my current setup with the 6 piston fronts. i just rebuilt my front calipers (seals only not new pistons) the piston seals were still in good shape but the outer dust seals were toasted. i made some backing plates for the big front pads to help save the dust seals.
ive got a friend pushing these new pads on me. he is sponsored by them so he is biased a lil. Pete, and others, what do you guys know about Pagid brand brake pads? ive went around the world on brakes and my setup now works great so i dont want to change anything. he is wearing me out about how awesome these pads are. |
