Sport pkg Brake's Lifespan

Philipp

I have 11 000 miles on my car (18 000km) and my front pads are gone... I have to mention that I did a couple of track days!

To my surprise the rear pads are still at 70 pourcent.

I am still debating to go with Hawk HPS or Carbonteks pads...

Get Carbotech's for the track, use stock or stock equivalent for the street. I'm with Steve, the HPS pads suck.

Chris is there any " bedding" process when you swap from race to street pads?
Ps. Thanks for the feedback on the Hawk pads...

The Carbotech's don't need a lot of bedding, see here for a guide.

Given the track pads are abrasive when cold, I've seen recommendations that driving on the street for a week or two will allow them to remove their own pad material from the rotor. Then you can swap your street pads back in and bed them simply with some quick successive stops from 60mph-20mph. Going from street to track, I just pop the track pads in, drive a couple days to remove the street pad material from the rotor, and then bed the track pads when I get to the event.
