Guys,
I'm curious to know what people are using for brake pads on STREET cars that get run in time trials and DE events. Are you really running street pads and then switch to a race pad like a Hawk Blue or Performance friction 80 at the event? I've been running non descript street pads on a 914-6 that has 911E fronts and 914-6 stock rear rotors with -4 rear calipers. I like the bias of this setup and I NEED an e-brake since I drive this car every day during the summer. I've tried no e-brake and it's a haze. This car currently runs on 205-50-15 Victoracers all around on 7" wide rims. Non descript pads with no ducts are really not up to the task. Plenty of fade and venting clearance that needs to be adjusted like every hour of track time is the result. That's taking it easy on them. Of course some effective ducting is in the works, but I'm thinking something like a Hawk HP Plus in conjunction with the ducting might work well for me. Your experiences please. Thanks for the help.
