Some of this is explainable via insufficient data: e.g. EBC went through a management and manufacturing changeup a few years back, and it seems like most of the bad rep came from before the change and they're better now. Hawk makes several different street and light-track compatible pads that are vastly different from each other: probably the problems are on one type and not the other. Then there's user variations: some people are just a lot harder on brake pads than others, whether it's street or track driving.
It's a minefield, good luck making a rational decision  |
I've read as deeply into this thread as I can stand. The confusion just keeps growing. Based on what I read I am getting Project Mu B-Force pads for street/light track. I ordered them from Upgrade Motoring. Great phone help and nice prices 148 front/138 rear. It will be a while before I will need more aggressive race pads. Well, maybe never.
They should be arriving next week and I will get them mounted when they arrive. The B-force pads are one level above the base Project Mu street pads. I am hoping they will not drive me nuts on the street. Here is the spec sheet for the B-Force
