FS: Used Brembo Brake Pads (Ferrodo/Hawk Pads) - Whats wrong with me?
Hey guys, just found my stash of brake pads for 350z/G35 with Brembo package. I went through a phase of experimenting with different pads with different events/tracks with a bit of street driving in between...wtf. I know. For sale I have what pads i have left over.
I realize I will probably never use these in the near term as I will most likely be away from the track for the foreseeable future. The Hawk HPS I could get away with on the street, but not the HP+ and Ferodo pads. They are simply too loud and don't heat up to optimal temperature properly on the streetz yo...
Most pads have i would say 60%+ life left or better. Just my personal opinions with each pad. Boxes were for display/storage purposes only. I have Hawk pads in Ferodo boxes and vice versa. This is normal since i would put previously outgoing pads in the boxes of the pads that were going in.
First up:
Hawk HPS: Street/Mild AutoX
Notes: Quiet with Decent cold bite on the street. Not very suitable for circuit driving as they lose bite after a few laps. Holds well during Auto Cross. Light brake dust build up.
Life - 60% front/90% rear - $60 for all pads (8 in total)
Second:
Hawk HP+: AutoX to Light Track
Notes: Annoying cold squeal on the street occasionally. Avg street performance but cold bite is noticably worse than HPS. Good performance in Autocross over HPS when warmed up, but lacks longevity during extended circuit laps. Heavy brake dust build up (bro why you paint your gold wheels brown?).
Life - 70ish% front/90%+ rear - $85 for all pads (8 in total)
Finally
Ferodo DS2500: Track
Notes: Loud as faaaak on the street, but racecar cool when you pull up to a soccer mom in her Honda Odyssey... Jokes on her, she thinks my brakes are shot, but i have plenty... Cold street performance is similar to HP+ but has great hot track performance. Never took these autocrossing but i think they would perform well once they are warmed up, which would be challenging in autocross since you are waiting/marshalling most of the time. Moderate to Medium dust build up.
Life - 75-80% front/90%+ rear - $100 for all pads (8 in total)

Since this is the EC section. I will start the bidding in the typical EC fashion.
1)Is this used materilz in prfkt conditon?
2) Best Price to G6H 2K9
3) I will give you $14, and a copy of Goonies on VHS.
