Brake pad recommendations
Need to change the front brake pads on my 87 TII. Mostly street driving, with occassional track. Currently have Hawk HPS, don't like them, and would like something more aggressive.
Any input will be appreciated! Also, where to pick them up, thanks in advance! |
carbotech panther+, order direct from carbotech

How's the initial bite? Dust level, noise?

If you can't find another source for the CarboTech pads, contact these guys:
http://www.dpeweb.com/News.aspx They got in a shipment of them for most car applications not too long ago. If they don't have it in stock, they can definitely get it. As for the dust, they don't dust as much as Hawk pads (and the dust is not as corrosive as Hawks). I will be using them on my M3 and eventually on my FD (for the street, I use N-Tech Lapping Day pads for the track on the FD). |

The obvious next step would be the Hawk HP Plus pads. Much easier to compare apples to apples if you stay in the same product line.

How's Porterfield R4-S compared to these guys? I've heard both good and bad regarding these pads. I want something with more bite than Hawk HPS, close to the HP+, but without the noise and dust level, thanks.

I suggest you try Carbotech XP's on the track. You can drive on the street. Mine stopped well and were rotor friendly.
