Anyone here track their Si?

I wonder if one can just go to the dealership and buy some

Nope.

Personally, I think it's somewhat misleading for Honda to have installed brake pads that are not available to most Honda Civic Si buyers on dozens of cars that were driven and evaluated by automotive journalists.

^ brake longevity has a lot to due with the track you've at and driving style/habits.

Not saying under 1:50 is not doable but I did a 1:46 in my C5 Z06 a few years ago. Keep us updated.

Road Atlanta is not as bad on brakes unless it is 90F in sun. AMP, Atlanta Motorsports Park, is hard on brakes at any ambient temp. I wish the engine was broken in already so I can take it out on track.

I took her out on Road Atlanta. I did not time myself since I was lifting a lot so I wouldn't destroy the brakes. Plus I had a student in the car most of the time so I didn't want to push it. Easily under 2 minutes at 50% though. Definitely needs more camber in the front and a bigger sway in the rear. LSD worked great. I didn't cooked the brakes because it is my home track and I know how to manage brake temps there.

I took it to Atlanta Motorsports Park last Sunday and cooked the pads. AMP is a brake heavy track though. She is plenty fast, I just need her to slow down!

And G loc said they are out of stock.

I guess I will get Hawk 5.0. I mean what else can I get. they make DTC 60s on the regular civics but not Si's. Stupid.
