Subject: Re: Favorite Brake Pads, Rotors and Fluid for AX and HPDE and why? by jaa1992 on 2010/2/3 22:05:55 Brake Pads: Carbotech, I'm currently running xp12/xp8 for time trials. I've tried EBC yellows. Thank goodness they were free cause I would have been pissed if I had to pay for them. Long lasting pad, tore rotors up, when cold stopped a little better than street pads, when hot they stopped like the Carbotech AX pads. Brake Rotors: I try to find made in USA (unobtanium), made in Canada (approaching unobtanium), or China inexpensive rotors. I lucked out and got two sets of front rotors 4 years ago before Rockauto stopped carrying the raybestos red label. Fluid: ATE (bule or gold) Valvoline Synpower is my current fluid. Its like $9 a quart compared to the ATE at $12 - $20 a can. It can be found at most auto parts stores. I bleed / flush often enough that it doesn't matter. When I get some air on the fronts I won't have to bleed as often. |
