Autocross brake pads?

[ksconekiller]

What combination of pads work best on the ITR? I've heard Hawk HPS and HP+ the most, but I have heard of others also. Anyone want to chime in?

I use old skool Cobalt GTS pads. Unfortunately I only have 1 set left after these wear out.

I really want to hear some feedback on these too if anyone has tried them, CL RC6 Brake Pads.

Carbotech AX6's?

Yeah, I was going to say the OLD Cobalt GT-Sports or Ultimates were probably perfect. Nowadays...no idea.

I personally do not like Hawk HPS pads. I've tried them on an ST Civic, a CS Miata, and my DSP ITR. I think the pedal feel is really poor, and the bite is inconsistent. I've also tried HP+ on all 4 corners and it was too much brake, and the HP+ have a poorer pedal feel and consistency then the HPS, though with a bunch more bite. They also wore concave on me, giving me a mushy brake pedal.

Currently I'm running Ferodo DS2500s up front with OEM rear pads. I'm really pleased with the combination. Very progressive, easy to modulate, great release, firm pedal, and plenty of bite. They have a wide operating temperature range, and work well even dead cold on a 40* NE morning.

ferodo ds2500 is a good pad
