Justin Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Just bought some UK rear calipers and disks from Nic to better my stopping power. I want them for weekend driving but track day use also. I presume stock pads won't do? Are there any that people rate far and above the others that don't cost the earth? (I have 6 Pot APs on the front btw) Happy New Year Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 For road & track then CW road pads... Whether thwy'll be up to the job on track you can only really suck them and see, as the rears may or may not be doing enough work to cook the CW fast road pads. As they are the cheaper option I'd do them first and if they do overheat then move on to race pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I can do both fast road and full race pads for the UK calipers, but I think there is only a couple of sets left of the race compound available to me. I have fast road ones in stock. They will survive all but the hardest track usage, but if you are the next Senna you will need the race ones for sure. with race fluid.

michael Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I've used Hawk HP+, Porterfield and Endless pads on the road (fast) and track, I liked the Hawk and Endless. I'm sure the CW pads are fine and dandy too, I just haven't tried them for one reason or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I'm using Hawk pads and am pretty happy with these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I'm using Hawk too, stopped me good enough from 180mph 5 consecutive times at full on braking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
