It's going to be that time once spring rolls around... 20,000 or so miles on the Type R and I can hear, feel, and see the pads are getting lower. While it's not urgent I would like to make a sound decision in the upcoming months. I've tracked a lot of different brands and compounds and I fear my biases will shine through.
I wanted to hear what others have went with for street / track use. This is by no means my track vehicle but I want to make sure the pads are capable of a weekend or two during their lifetime...
That I can see the GiroDisc (again super bias on this one) are the way to go for all four rotors but when it comes to pads I'm stuck. I'm normally carb0t3ch4lyfeY0! but how do the Hawk 5.0 compared to the stock pads? Mu's? Ferodo Racing?
I can't find much on actual reviews with brake pads on this vehicle just a couple recommendations pop up in the search but I'd like to hear some actual stories of how they compare to stock.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
