Pads for Sport Package Daily and Track with OEM rotors

ResIpsa

I don’t think anyone who knows what they are talking about is going to recommend drilled rotors.

Here is a shot of my old set of drilled and slotted Stop Tech rotors.

This. Unless you need to know where the rotor will crack.

How many miles do you have this?

I went with the Ferodo DS2500. Well see

It’s not really about miles. It’s about track days.

I believe it was my third track day and there were no visible cracks before the event.

Keep in mind this was in my previous G35 with Porterfield R4 pads. It’s amazing the abuse I put my G35 brakes through and never once boiled my fluid or experienced “ice mode”. And I was only running ATE Super Blue.

Sad to say, the 370Z’s ABS system is a regression compared the G35’s.

Carbotech XP8s here (DD)

Have about 900 miles on them. Still not a squeek yet. When cold, bite is about equal to OEM, much more bite than OEM when warm, way more dust, about 5x OEM.

Running the same and not so lucky with the stock rotors. I warped them with stock pads at the track. Turned the rotors, but still they vibrate the steering wheel under braking.

So I need new rotors too, pronto. What was the verdict on what to get for daily driving and 6 track events per year? My next event is June 17th at Laguna Seca.

OEM rotors or any blanks from a big bob store, get them cryo treated and you are all set. Waste of $500 to buy the fancy ones

Update on the Carbotech XP8s

Up to about 3k miles and got my first squeeks out of them. Had them up in the mountains last night. Had to have the stereo off hear them but it was a high pitch noise like you would have on a hearing test. Got them nice and hot on the way down and the squeeled a little louder, even at 35-20mph range, harder I pressed the louder they got. Definitely not what I expected. Figured it would go go away at higher pedal force and higher speed. Still not that loud and the stereo would of made it difficult to hear. Anyway... not a peep out of them under normal driving after the curves were done and none on the way to work. Don't get me wrong, still love them. They're just living up to their warning about using them as street pads. Will try sanding the pads and rotors down a little and rebedding when I get around to it. No hurry, it's not an annoyance yet.

Does more dust equates to better brake performance? How are the hawks pads for occasional track and more street?
