Hey everyone, this is more of an enquiry than anything else, but I compete in motorkhana's, hillclimbs and sprints and I was looking at getting th QFM pads. I was really wanting to get the 750 degree ones for their track use but I would need cold bite for the motorkhana's and such. Should I just get the 550 degree ones or would the 750's do the cold job alright. one last thing is how bad is the squeel?

P.S. I also have a R32 Type M GTS-T and I heard that they are the same calipers and pads as the non-brembo GT-R's

I just got the ebc red stuff put on, front only. I must say I quite like them. Mostly the feel. Haven't had them on the track yet, that will be the real test.

hey im considering on buy ferodo DS2500 for street use only and maybe 1 track day, but need a product identification number or a place where i can goto to buy them if i cant find a place i will have to get the bendex ultimates

PS: the guys at supercheap autp ask if i could get a product id number/serial as they couldn't find the pad on system :S

Super cheap won't be able to get the DS2500. That is the product ID. The ferodo racing pads aren't imported into australia by the same group that do the regular street pads...

If its 99% street use, then don't waste your money on the DS2500's anyway. TRW Lucas or EBC Green stuff are equally as good (all about 650 degrees rated), or if you were going to settle for Bendix Ultimate, then something like a QFM HPX, both at 550 will give you the same performance minus the rotor wear and dust of the former.

[GTRgeoff]

Just a quick comment if you are thinking Greenstuff, they are worthless for any track days as they disintegrate quickly, and EBC don't recommend them for heavier cars for track days themselves.

Also they throw a lot of dust which is annoying. I have them in the V8 Soarer as they were supposed to be low dust, but that was wrong. They are also spongy under the pedal and lack progressive feel.

Otherwise there are plenty of good pads, but I'll never buy EBC again.

thanks for the tips jet pilot and those pads u considered could be bought at any parts supply place???

Which ones? QFM, EBC or TRW? Most places can get them, but don't keep them in stock, and thus charge accordingly...

My 20 cents

Track Only Pads

Hawke HT10, our race team pad of choice for ther last 5 years * *

Hawke DTC60, the new compound, slightly higher CoF with better initial bite than the HT10 * * *

Hawke DTC70, the new compound, even more initial bite than the DTC60, can be a proble if you don't have good driver control of brake modulation * *

On some cars we use a split (DTC70 front and DTC60 rear) to give more resistence to rear brake lock up on sharp application.

Ferodo DS3000, hard on rotors, not as good initial bite as HPC60, good high temperature pad *

Ferodo DS2500, not really a race compound, OK for wet races and cold weather, not as good at high temp as 3000's

Performance Friction Carbon Metallic * *

Our previous brake pad of choice, choose the compound carefully, but be aware of rotor build up.

Endless, Overpriced for what they are

Combo Track/Street Pads

Hawke HP Plus, the best track street compromise, can be noisy if the rest of the hardware is worn or they are not installed and run in correctly * *

Bendix Ultimate, very dusty, but good for light track work if the rest of the hardware is in tip top condition *

Ferodo 2000, better high temp control than Ultimates, still testing their road suitability *

Endless, way overpriced for what they are

Ferodo DS2500, sit in middle, an OK street pad and an OK circuit pad *

Street Only Pads

Bendix Ultimates, dusty but effective, need initial warming up on a cold winters day *

Ferodo 2000, better for sustained high temp work, still testing their overall road suitability *

Hawke HPS, the best high performance street pad, good life, can be noisy if the rest of the hardware is worn or they are not installed and run in correctly * *

Hawke LTC, the best low dust pad I have tried, still good braking power * * *

Cheers

have you tried QFM pads Gary??

There is a group buy going for ADR approved braided lines and QFM pads, $330 or something like that, seemed like a real good deal but haven't heard of QFM before....

[battery]

who sells Hawke pads?

[Dush]

[justin911]

Thanks man.. I'm from hoppers anywayz so its around the corner for me... what do ur oppinion on cross drill disks?

Were to buy, how much and what i should get?

[cooks44]

I think the Ultimates are hard to judge. Personally have had 3 sets with no problems, 4th set is irritating me though - noise like nothing else. I think it's just their QC, they are mass-mass produced and they'd have variances. Meh. I get em under $90 so it's all good (too bad I can get DBA4000s for that price... they're not looking as good these days).
