Pad choices, need advise rush!

Ok guys here's whats been bothering me, I used at the track the Mighty Titan Kai's, Project Mu decided not to make those anymore I had no problems with them at the track.

Tried the Racing Triple 7's and damn for the first time I boiled my Motul 600, had to bleed the system 3 times at the track. Damn pad makes a lot of temperature, I am driving exactly the same way, I did improved a bit on the times.

Now which ones you recommend for very spirited driving at the Auto Cross, has a stright that I put down like 120 mph the rest is a very interesting track with lots of turns and all, which pad would you recommend? I will be using now instead of stock rotors Project Mu 2 piece rotors sloted.

Choices:
XP 11's
Project Mu Level MAX 900
Hawk Blue

Any suggestions? I have event next weekend.
Thanks

Pagid Blue for street/track and Pagid Yellow and Orange for TRACK ONLY.

Easy on the rotors, great bite, great fade characteristics....

Extremely popular on Porsches and Subaru....the Blues are very similar to a tarmac rally pad, great as a street and track mix, with good cold friction and fading resistance up to 930°F. Pretty good with dusting too. Big thing is that they're easy on the rotors.


Yellows are track only pads, and hold a lot of temperature. Orange's are a step further and are endurance pads.

Daytona protoypes run Pagid, as well as a lot of GT class cars.

Actually...just read that at the 2006 ROLEX 24h race in Daytona, 43 out of 66 teams ran on Pagid pads.

Did not know that...pretty cool.

If you're boiling (what I'm assuming is dry fluid) motul 600 then you need a pad that can handle more than 930F...and some brake ducts for cooling.
Look at Peformance Friction PFC-97 maybe PFC-01
You can try Hawk Blue compound 9012, but you'll probably fade them.

I don't know the temp specs for Pagid or Carbotech so I can't speak for those.


Then I wonder why you're boiling fluid at an autocross. Hmmm...

Titan Ki rocks and i'm dissapointed that they discontinued it too. it was great on the street and excellent at the track and best of all no sqealing.

I put the Level max 900s on and took them off after 2 weeks. DO NOT use that for a street/track combo as they squeal like crazy on the street. did not get a chance to test them at the track but remember reading here a few days back that 900 are better than titan ki at the track.

The PFC pads are also great...PFC-01 are a bit serious like the Pagid Yellows.

Perhaps a dedicated track pad is in order for Randy...

Randy,

I'd recommend the Hawk Blues or Pagid Blues and then the Pagid's R$14s. Also consider the brake ducts and poke some holes on that front bumper if your boiling the fluid. You know where you can get hose adapters to clamp the hose to the caliper bolts like FORGE's?

Thanks Jose, I think I will need to call GT Worx those pads seem like a good choice, I wonder if maybe whats wrong is that Im using too much the brakes at the track, probably thats the problem. Damn making holes in my bumper!!! Oh my God the pain!!!!!!!

Call me as soon as you can, I have some disturbing news.
