New brakes and rotors!

Spooler · 11-12-2015, 10:53 PM

I use Carbotech XP8's all around and Z1 2-piece rotors for daily driving. They dust like crazy but that is what we have soap and water for. I like them for DD.

Im thinking to get this EBC Yellowstuff brake pads to use them with my EBC USR brake rotors

or you guys think that i have to think on other set of brake pads? i track the car sometimes and is my dd too. Last time I use the Stop Tech brake pads and work fine and on the track stop really really good

If you want to utilize your OEM calipers and want good product at a good price I would go to brakeperformance.com You can get drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads for an excellent price. This site offers the bets price I can find and I have been very impressed with the product they supply. I always get the premium kit which has a higher grade iron for the rotor and the non contact surface is coated to protect against corsion. You are looking at $390 for all new rotors and pads cross drilled and slotted. Its a good deal for a stock set up. I would also recommend stainless brake lines and new fluid, for that I would use Torque RT700 it is a little pricey but has the highest dry and low boiling point of all the brake fluids I have found. Any further than that you are gonna want to upgrade the a BBK from Brembo, Stoptech, Rotora etc.

Project Mu Club racers are decent for both, but you'll get alot of dust, and they don't have AS much bite as the Carbotech pads for track use.

I daily drive on XP10/XP8's, but I am also on the tail of the dragon almost every saturday at a minimum. One thing I will say about them besides the typical crazy dust, is that the XP10's HATE cold weather (20-30's) for noise. They have incredible bite from air temperature and it only gets better as they get hotter. I have yet to have any issues out of them on the dragon or the few autocross events i've done. Im running Z1's two piece rotor in the front, and the OEM rotors in the rear.
