Pad update. Hawk+ amazing on track borderline undrivable on streets (very grabby, not to mention dusty and loud lol). Ceramics going back in till spring (track season)

Speaking of Hawk, I've been pretty impressed with their DTC-series pads so far. With DTC-70 front and DTC-60 rear, the rear bias is a little high leading to a bit of ice-mode tendency, but it's not horrible. Aside from that: they bedded well and they've held up well, they feel pretty good under modulation, and they're not over-grabby. DTC-70/30 or 60/30 might be the ticket for those pads.

When I can first started tracking my Z, I did DTC-60 front and stock rear, worked well and no ice mode issues. Now I'm on Winmax W6 front, W2 rear.

No offense guys, but please keep this thread on-topic. Brake pads are important. Brand, variety, etc is a great topic to discuss - just in a thread of its own. For example - http://www.the370z.com/track-autocro...rake-pads.html

I think that the concept of being aware of your pads, fluid, and the option of race pads is certainly a topic that has been covered in here for the purpose of being a 'best practice'.

Cool?

Well we're 16 pages deep now. The original belongs in summary bullet points on the first. (BTW, IMHO that front page should recommend Carbotech in XP10+8 rather than 8 all around - that seems to be the consensus for tracking a reasonably stock-ish car and not having ice-mode issues).

I can work with that... editing currently... :tup:

I call bs by the way, I get ice mode regardless what rear pads

wstar 09-27-2014 03:10 AM
