Brake pad reccomendations?
What type of pad should I put on my 85 GSL-SE for autocross? I've been planning Hawk, but can't remember which (blue/black/+ etc..)
Also, who has good prices?
TIA

I have had very good luck with Axxis metalmasters. I use them on my rally prepared 1st gen. Very good initial bite when cold. Much cheaper than the other popular brands as well. Check www.coximport.com. I got my second set a few months ago from them for around 60.00 (front and rear) with free shipping.

I used Axxis Metal Masters once.
They were ok but not spectacular in any way.
They did not stop that hard and dusted alot.
They also kind of melted at the track.
There is a new pad called Axxis Ultimate that is supposed to be a lot better.

The Panther brand of pads are supposed to be even better performing but cost nearly double.

I'm trying these next.
