Brake Pad Cmpany Comparisons
Hi,
I did some searching, on brake pads for the first gens. I contacted EBC, and they told me they don't make any of their brake applications for our car. I have Hawk Blues but they chewed up may rotors, granted I ran them on the car around town and the racetrack. I found out unless the Blues are hot they chew rotors. I'm torn, the Hawk Blues left a nasty groove, or deep lip in all four rotors. Does anybody have any experience with Carbotecs? The website selling them says that they cover more of the rotor, and don't chew up rotors like hawks. They guy says that after six races he still had original rotor thickness. Any thoughts? What about Performance Friction, any comments? One last Question. I've ordered four neew rotors, should I send them off to get them cryogenically treated? Does it make a real difference? Keep in mind I use the car mostly for racing (S.C.C.A Spec 7), but it does see occasional around town use. Thanks for everybodys help,
Spec 7

Carbotechs are a real nice pad. I would not consider a dual purpose pad, too many compromises on street and track. Why not swap out the Hawk Blues for Hawk HPS on the street?
Now, I have a buddy with a gsl-se and he ran the carbotech XP8's on street and track and there was only the faintest of squeal on the street. And real good braking.

Axxis pads work for me!
Made in Australia. Grab like hell on my drilled and slotted GSL rotors but dusty as ****.
Don't have anything to compare them to, since I'm still on my first set...
