brakes

I dont know if this should be in the brake section or here.... either way, what are you autoX guys running as far as brakes?? I hear a lot of good things about Hawk pads.

Do you change them at the event or run them all the time. When I went to Gingerman last year almost all the guys swapped out there pads at the track. I would prefer not to do that though.

Pads?
Rotors?
SS lines?

RE: brakes

I run Hawk HPS pads year round & Goodridge steel braided brake lines with AutoZone black rotors. The track days are harder on brake pads than autox. You really don't get up to a high enough speed to get them pads too hot.

RE: brakes

Just go with Brembo OE rotors. From importrp.com, they're about $85-ish shipped for 2 front's.

And I'm sort of against Hawk HPS pads since they're semi-metallic. Creates the squeel. But for more aggressive driving, I'd go with them. Like track or auto-xing that require tremendous amounts of braking over daily driving.

But for daily driving, I'd stick with EBC Green's.

RE: brakes

My Hawk HPS didn't start making any noise until after about a year. And that is minimal.

RE: brakes

HPS it is then, and some rotors. I think I will wait on the lines for now
