Re: Who's running ceramic pads?

But but but... less braking equals higher lap times right? I get that some people drag the brake, I don't think I do, but when I get on them I try and use every bit of them. Last time at the track the rear carpet came unglued and flopped forward, lol.

I figure HPS for more of an street/auto-x pad, but it all depends on the rotor size vs car weight I suppose.

I'm gonna order EBC Red ceramic, they claim higher friction over oem.

BTW, check this out, this is the first I've seen Hawk publish actual data. I have the blue right now, note the horrible low temp friction. That DTC 30 looks like a better choice though, but I think I balked at the price.

Obviously if you change friction coefficient on one end, you are changing the bias, so keep that in mind. You can get higher temp, higher friction, or both, depending on your needs. Also note they don't show their ceramics on there. Interesting.
