I have put alot of time on the track with the hp plus pads and I want to step up to the next level. Would the XR2's or DT-60, DT-70 be good options. If so do you split the front and rears with different pads or can you run the same on both...?

Thanks..

Jason

I'd try Carbotech XP10's in front and XP8's in back next.

I run Hawk DTC70 front and DTC60 rear. They have done well for me.

On stock calipers I was going through a set in 1 or 2 weekends.
Put on StopTech big brakes and the pads haven't worn down near as much.

You don't want to run these on the street as they take some heat to start gripping. Haven't had any problems with brake fade on the track. I also use Motul fluid.

If you want to continue using the pads on the street the next step up would be the Cobalt CSR pads. Cobalt doesn't recommend them for continual street driving but they do say they are OK for the trip to the track or autcross event.

I am extremely happy with my CarboTechs!

I just changed from HP plus to Carbotech this past week and had my first track day with them. Night and day the Carbotechs are awesome. Call Adam from Carbotech on the forum. He took care of me selecting the correct pads and delivered really fast. I'm very happy

Amen. My data logger said I was between .87 and .83 g's under braking in the two fastest braking areas Sunday. THANKS ADAM!

I've been running DTC-70's/60's as mentioned in another post. Been running this set up for a long time. work great, predictable, and last pretty long.

SSRacing: OT, but AAAUUGHHH!!!! Your avatar is making my eyes bleed! Make it stop, make it stop!

Back on topic, I've been running PFC Z rated pads for autocross. They're about gone, and they're essentially not available locally. I've got a set of HP+ ready to go, but was curious what others were recommending for autocross. I want something that's got good cold bite and a reasonable heat range, so the killer pads that are great on the track may not work so well for me.

Have a good one,
Mike

I like the Hawk HT-10 front/rear or HT-10 DTC-60 rear with street tires.

Carbotech XP8™ (1108™)
A high torque brake compound with a wide operating temperature range (200°F-1350°F+). Carbotech XP8™ is the first of our racing compounds. Outstanding initial bite at race temperatures, high coefficient of friction, excellent modulation and release characteristics. Extremely high fade resistance, very rotor friendly with 100% non-corrosive dust. Excellent as a front brake pad for lighter ITA, ITB, ITC, SRF, H4, H5, and other cars that weigh less than 2,400lbs. Perfect for novice, intermediate and advanced track day (HPDE) use with any tire, and can still be driven safely to and from the track. There are several vehicles that use XP8™ on the street, autocross, and at track day (HPDE) events. Carbotech does NOT recommended XP8™ as a daily driven street pad due to elevated levels of dust and noise. XP8™ is also a great rear brake pad for almost any race car (Spec Miata-T1/T2/CMC). XP8™ is a great compound on the front & rear of most open wheel and sports racers.

I like the Wilwood H compound for the same reasons. It also doesn't hurt the paint and I can get it off the wheels even after rain on the way home. I got 7 days (3+ events) out of my first set of fronts and they are still not gone yet--have over 1/8" minimum (tapered). They seem like a very cost effective pad.

Did you read the brake pad section of the sticky thread in this section:

I'll see if I can find a better one.
