Trackday brake pad suggestions?

[Cur8or]

Hi guys.

I\'ve just destroyed a brand new pair of front pads this weekend at Hampton Downs in about 100km.

Rears are half way done.

Any suggestions on which ones to try next on my completely stock non-STi V7 WRX?

Thanks.

highly reccomend endless pads not cheap but last a long time.

Bendix ultimate from bnt will do it pretty well . There maybe more hard out options that people suggest but you can\'t go wrong with them really . Work good from cold on the street etc . Put up with street cars on the track pretty well . Quite messy tho . Assume you have 4 pots ? Think they about 90 $

[funkytown]

both the above are reasonable, also Hawk

i\'ve found them acceptable to learn on. they lasted me somewhere between 1 and 3 trackdays

avoid slotted or drilled rotors

where are they available for $90? my last set of 4pot fronts was 200+

[Pappu1]

i had a non sti v7 wrx with the 4 pots and stock rotors and had freoddo (or however they are spelt) pads

and they lasted 2 track days and the all street driving in the middle

think they were called freoddo zero (or ds2000) cant remember

was from repco

i was happy with the price vs usage value on them

edit i think they were ts2000 as that rings a lot more bells

anyway as others have said - try it and if dont like try something else cos they are reletively cheap

[Stoffa]

Ive got ferodo ts2000, got them from racebrakes.

[newsuba]

that\'s ferodo formula, same as ts2000, same compound as ds2000 with different binder.

a damn good pad, much better than bendix ultimates.

the lucas/trw from repco is also a good, cheap pad.

then there are various race pads from ferodo, mintex, pagid et al

like tyres, so many choices, all depends on what op is wanting to do with them.

[Stoffa]

Ts2000\'s are great on the street too. they work well cold and if you really stomp on them they pull up well

[Cur8or]

The ones I cooked were BNT\'s "CPlus" pads. $200 for all 4 corners.

[newsuba]

there you go.

ferodo ts2000\'s are around $200 for fronts.

i could never find matching rears so ran with lucas on the back.

actually turned out to be a nice combo.

iirc albaru ran the same setup ?

[NotAWhiteGTB]

I 2nd the Ferodo TS2000\'s on the front and get something like Bendix Metal King\'s for the back.

Then if they dont work like you wanted them too, your better off going and getting Pagid RS pad\'s.

Thats what I am running currently...

I doubt they will last through the DOBC trackday at Manfiled in a few weeks so I will be bringing spares.

They stop ok though for a cheap pad.

Hows the dust factor?

[Johnnynz]

Probably not quite as bad as the Bendix Ultimates I normally run.

I only got them because I wasn\'t sure I had the right pad the when I changed to 4 Pots so I went cheap but there ok for street use.

Halfway through:

[thorpy]

I can thoroughly reccomend Hawk pads

If you want something mainly street with the odd trackday go for the HP Plus , If you want a solid track pad thats still streetable go for the DTC-30

Much cheaper than anything else that will match it.

[Trent]

Im using ebc yellows at the moment paid somewhere around 330 ish for the fronts on brembos i like emalot

[Stoffa]

I water blast my rims every 2 weeks as the TS2000 do get a little bit of build up but not that bad

[T.Rev]

another pads thread ..from my playing on track days I used Hawk HP Performance Plus pads front and back..probably not necessary at back but .....shite load of dust but great stoppers. Ask those I outbraked... ;D

[albaru]

Hmmm, that would be me

[Johnnynz]

Ha ha your not alone there Al.

[Kiwi_Fozze]

Stupid question, but where do y\'all be buying these pads from??

Oh i love a good game of "who hits the middle pedal first"

I run Ts2000 on my 2pots. Seem to do the job nicely.
