lol i thought that guy was joking.
And what's TOU?
btw, ran the carbotech's today. It was rainy all day so never got the brakes super hot, but when warmed up they stopped really well. I could brake a lot later than a lot of the porsche's out there today.

Yes, TOU = Terms of Use.
Just an FYI, I am going to roll this thread into the Track pad Database, but I am going to try a new function first to make it easier to find pads for standard vs Brembo vs Aftermarket brakes.

To everyone who has posted a pad entry, I have a favor to ask. I am trying to make this thread/database searchable and be able to have quick links at the top of the thread. So can you go back and add the following items if your post is missing it :
Brake system (Standard, Brembo, Aftermarket):
Manufacturer:
Compound:
Other items you may want to include:
Operating temperature range:
Coefficient of friction: if known
Brake system: OEM non-Brembo, OEM Brembo, StopTech, AP,…
Price paid:
Durability:
Rotors friendliness:
General impressions:
Thanks, this will make the thread much more usable.

I'm looking at Hawk Hp pads front and rear on Standard non-brembo set up.
Will these be good for my 1st HPDE? Are they a high dust early bite pad?
I would like a multi-functional pad if possible, but most important is stopping effectively at the track.
Would these be recomended?

So I managed to put some track abuse on my Stop Tech 309 pads (Street Performance series) on my OEM-Brembo equipped G35 coupe. I have to say I was highly impressed with them. I'll start by saying I def could have used a pad with some higher torque and initial bite, but for being street pads they did exceptionally well.
They never faded and pedal feel remained consistant from beginning to end. I was on track twice, pushing hard for 20-minutes each session. Weather was warm in the low 90's and very sunny. It was a 7-corner track with two straight aways ending into hard braking corners, especially the first straight into turn-1.
If there are any beginners out there or just seldom track visitors, I highly recommend this pad to people who want a great street pad that they can take and use on the track.
other brake mods for the day included Motul RBF-600 fluid, Fluid Transfer SS lines and Centric Slotted rotors. I was also on Hankook Ventus V12 Evo tires, which held up really well too.

Question For Scotts300/Anybody
I've been running Hawk DTC-60s on my '05 non-Brembo and broke a pair of rear DBA rotors after 2 events this year. Actually cracked through. Now the front DBAs are done after a 3rd. Seems like the stock rotors hold up better to race pads so I'm switching back. Your opinion(s) on that.
Also, towards the end of hot track days I'll eventually get a clutch pedal that doesn't return all the way. This has gone on for the past 3 seasons probably. Could that be from the heat the pads/rotors are generating or isn't that how the system brake/clutch fluid works? If so, you think the Raybestos R-41/R-43 combo would work better and generate less heat?

Manufacturer: Carbotech
Compound: XP10
Operating temperature range: "Fade resistance is in excess of 1650°F"
Coefficient of friction: unknown
Brake system: OEM non-Brembo
Application: Track Days
Price paid: <300$
Durability: Minimal wear after 2 track days: >75% wear remaining (2 1/2 hrs total track time plus some city driving and 800 highway miles)
Rotors friendliness: Haven't measured rotor thickness, but they look very good after taking the XP10's off
I was very happy with these pads; they were surprisingly friendly on the street getting to and from the track, and generated terrific, consistent brake torque on the track. They also were surprisingly easy on the rotors. A huge improvement in torque and durability over the EBC yellows I was using previously.

What do you guys do for events that it may or is raining? I ask because a lot of the dust from these pads is highly corrosive when it gets moist. I have ruined the finish of two sets of front wheels from running a track day or autox when it got wet out at some point. I did clean them when I got home hours later, but it seemingly needed to be done immediately.
My most recent casualty is a nasty corroded layer on my front black RPF1 wheels from the PF97 pad. I am planning on trying the Raybestos ST41s in the front, though I doubt they are any better with respect to this concern.
