After 3,000 miles, 3 track events and 3 autox events my stock Brembos are toast (they held up surprisingly well!) and I am seeking replacement front brake pads. I was going to go with Winmax W4 as I also street drive the car while attending autox/track events but was given a trial offer of these R1 Concepts Performance Brake Pads and R1 Carbon GEOMET Drilled Rotors. My question is, has anyone attended an open track event with these pads? I reached out to R1 and they stated the pads are equivalent to a Hawk HPS pad, but out performs stock with a heat rating of 500 - 700 degrees Celsius (I believe the stock Brembos are 600^c)
I don't think these pads have the bite I am looking for, but I am willing to try them out. My only fear is losing my braking abilities at a high speed (minor issue, right?) for Google search after Google search I am unable to find much information on these pads and zero feedback from anyone who has used and abused them on a track setting.
