On the Akebono brakes, I used R10/R8 and then R12/R10 for a long time. Both worked great, and I just jumped up in compound due to temps.

After hearing more experiences from other Z drivers and feeling stability differences between the Z on a single step stagger vs other cars, I'm beginning to think a double stagger like R12/R8 or R16/R10 could work even better, for stability. Have people made this switch and liked it?

Other brands I've heard great things on:
Ferodo: DS1.11 and DSUNO usually, just trouble finding compounds to stagger
PFC: PFC08 for longevity, also haven't figured out what to run in the rear
CSG: their spring and endurance compounds work for front, rear. Cost a lot more but also wear much less at the slight expense of rotors, vs Gloc and Carbotech, from what I've heard.
danegrey and Rusty like this.
