I'm running Hawk dtc-70's right now but I just picked up some pf97's today from a friend of mine, so those will be going in next hopefully they last as long as the hawk's do


Racing Brake ET800=crap

 

Street: Ferodo DS2500
Track: Raybestos ST-43

 

why doesnt carbotec make pads for 8-9? I love their pads on other applications..

 

hawk, there products have not disappointed me

 

What? Carbotech does makes pads for evo 8/9's

 

what are the characteristics of the carbotech that makes you love em?

 

Hawk HPS since the very first pad change. I ran these for years on my Honda Accord too.

 

how long did the dtc-70's last?

 

I think i'm at three track days and about 10k miles on them so far with enough to last me two more track days safely(I hope ).

nice...i'm about to pull the trigger on pf01s but I'm still open to alternatives...

I killed my project mu hc+ in 7 sessions (1 day and part of another)

its time to step it up to a race compound..

 

Well, I don't see Carbotechs.

Track- Carbotech XP12/10 (F/R)
Street- Racing Brake ET700 (For now)

Also tried DS2500's, not impressed and DEFINATELY not a track worthy pad. Mediocre street pad IMHO. ET700's were a little better track pad (while I was still very new to track stuff), but nowhere near a true track pad. But they make a nice street pad, good controllable bite and modulation.

 

Uh they do and have for quite a while. Try Ken on here (Evobrakes), he's a sponsor and can set you up.

 

Currently HT10s but going to switch to ST43s once they're done. See how those are.

 

I'm running the Girodisc Magic Pads, I must say the initial bite is good but when they heat up, they suck. They don't stop the car at all. You can tell to that they are cheap pads.

On that note, looking for some new pads. Probably go with the Ferodo 2500.

 

I got news for you, don't know about the magic Pads, but the 2500's do not take heat well at all. At least not what is generated by even moderate track driving.
