Subject: Re: News to me: Race compound pads for stock C4 brakes. by MarkB on 2008/8/18 19:31:02 Aardwolf is spot-on regarding ducting. If you do even one HPDE a year, it's still worth it. Please don't take this as me being an ass, but basically if you think you're fast enough to need race pads, then you're fast enough to need ducting. Race pads can definitely take more heat, but if you're running your car at 90%+ you're still cooking the rotors which will cause warping and excessive wear. Also as good as they are at taking heat, race pads do still have limits and will wear excessively and lose their bite. And you WILL boil your fluid. If you're running street pads for roadracing, obviously you need ducting that much more unless you're really taking it easy. |
