So are the Endless winding road applications actually streetable?? They seem like they would be a pretty nice pad to run...

 

is there someone to tell us what kind of Ferodo we have.... that is to say I'd like to know the friction coefficient ?????? (I need to compare with others)

 

I updated my FS threads w/ all the Hawk offerings if you are interested.

You guys should really be looking at the DTC-30's.

 

CC-X was updated and is now MX-72. mostly the same compound but some tweaks that give it better performance at higher temperatures than the CC-X.

MX-72 is a great dual purpose street / light track pad. if someone's using R compounds, then they can run ME22 (CC-R) or ME20 (CC-Rg). The difference between ME20 and ME22 is the level of initial bite. 20's bite harder. but both the ME20 and ME22 are friendly enough on rotors to be used on the street.

SS-S has been discontinued and is limited to what's currently in stock.

and SS-H is their highest performing street pad.

 

Guru, SmikeEvo, or anyone:

I am looking at the GS5's, esp for the front for daily driving (thinking still about Axxis ULT with adaptor for the rear) and went to the Satisfied webstore to find them since they're not in stock at other places. What I found was a different part number for the GS5 front btwn the Evo 8/9 and the X. Do you guys know what gives? There's a flipping $50 price difference too, which I could live without paying. http://www.ibrakeparts.com/home/default.aspx

The part for the Evo 8/9 shows as GS5D904 ($147 front) and for the X it shows GS5D866 ($196 front).

Thoughts?!?!?! (BTW, the Evo X-ready Rear Evo X GS5's are non-existent according to their list, and $194 for Evo 8/9 rears seem a bit high)

 

Crazy!!! I found I was sort of wrong. I got a reply from ibrakeparts.com (Satisfied's online store) support and they gave me the P/N GS5D1001. That, in reviewing it, is the 2004 Evo 8 pad Front pad. Apparently they have diff p/n for Front pads for the 8, 9 and X. Nuts.

Anyone have similar experiences?

 

It would make no sense to have different part numbers if they all use the same pad shape. Same with the Subaru STI's, Mustang GT500, Ford GT, and Caddilac CTS-V. Its an FMSI standard D1001 pad shape.

 

No one here on the forums or outside of the forums stock SS-H pads for the Evo X. This is starting to be a lost cause if you want to get a set of Endless SS-H pads.

 

Thx. The D1001 was what their cust svc person actually said too. And a decent price, not great. Not FederalMogul price, that's fer sure. ;-)

'Appreciate the help.

p.s. I guess that sort of teaches me a lesson about their website's information (or "lack of") related to native rear X pads w/o an adapter. I will contact them directly now, no doubt.

 

Has anyone tried the performance friction z rated street pad? It seems a little low end from the description on their website, and the fact that they are carried at auto zone has a certain stigma of cheapness, but when I spoke with PF tech on the phone, I was really surprised. The pad is made with the same compound as some of their track pads and is rated to handle temps up to 1200 F!

To make it more street friendly, it has a multilayer noise reduction backing that keeps squeels to a minimum, but the sacrifice is that this takes up about 3mm of space that would otherwise be occupied by pad material so from a longevity point of view, dedicated track pads would last a bit longer. The guy I spoke with said that they are great on the track, but I wanted to confirm this from someone who has actually run them on the track before I bought into that. If they really are as good as they sound, what a bargain! The fronts are only like 130, and the rears are around 100 so they won't break the bank. Anyway, thanks for any help.

 

So were they in stock with the person you were talking to, AZ or other? That'd actually be one of the deciding factors for me on any given day. Hard to find someone with them on the shelf.

 

Yes I've used them before on my M3. Totally quiet, no dust whatsoever and the braking improves the hotter they get, so it was great for when I took the car to an HPDE. I dont know what you mean low end because PFC is one the best performers in the professional motorsports industry.

Right now on the M3 I'm using their 06 racing compound (endurance) and the 01 in the rear. The 01 has a higer bite than the 06 so it will make the rear end do a bit more work before the fronts want to lock up, and the fronts being the endurance it will last. I'm again in love with that car, I've been wanting to sell it for months now but with this now all I want to do is drive around.

The downside is that they dust as much as the OE pads did and the Z rated didnt.

 

I didn't mean low end from a brand point of view, just from a model point of view. The z rated series are made for everything from pickups to mustangs to corollas to... evos, and are carried at auto zone of all places, and that's why I said they seemed a little low end. PF as a brand is a leader in the industry, and their track pads are incredible; they are also twice the price which makes me wonder how the only difference could be that 3mm of noise reduction backing (remember, the guy told me these use the same compound as some of the track pads). Either way, they sound good and they pretty are cheap, so I will probably give these a whirl. Thanks for the info.

 

I have heard good things about Project Mu Type NS for Evo IX. It is a good street pad. But do they make rear pads for Evo X?

 

Anybody tried EBC Red stuff for street use???
