Best Brake Pads for Street & Track/Road Course?
Are there any pads out there that have sufficient performance for both daily driving as well as track or road course use? I'm not really looking for a 'low dust' pad, but would like to keep dust 'manageable' if that makes sense. I am more concerned about braking performance while also retaining ordinary streetability use.
I was looking at these: https://www.knsbrakes.com/products/c...ms/series/1091 Thoughts? Also what is the P/N for normal AC Delco or Brembo 1LE pads? |

I had good experience with Carbotech, my Hawk 60's squeal slightly on the road but it's not bad at all. I actually only started noticing the sound after I took out my back seats to install my 4 point roll cage.

Stock SS 1LE pads: 84732503 rear, & 25940447 front (ACDelco # 171-1040). Amazon, RockAuto, and eBay are usually the cheapest places to buy them
The price per hour of track driving is probably higher with stock pads but they're sufficient for stock tires in my experience and you save the labor of swapping to proper track pads before each track day and swapping back after each track day. If you daily drive the car leaving track pads installed all of the time will likely significantly increase rotor wear because they're operating below their minimum temperature (in addition to being noisy). If you use better tires than stock I would not recommend the stock pads because they're likely to overheat and wear about twice as fast. With better tires, stock pads might also prevent you from using a little bit of the braking ability of the tires towards the end of sessions due to overheating. https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=475866 |

Take a look at EBC blue stuff pads. Half the dust, easy on rotors and very track capable.
