I have used all.

Why do you want to step up?
Going to the track?

SR is more aggressive than ss.

FP3 doesn't bite aswell cold as the SR. But handles heat and Wear better. I recommend this for track.

If I were you and only using for the street, ss would be my choice.

If you really want to step up then go SR. Just remember that Cold braking will be slightly affected

Thanks for the speedy replies!

Looking more to improve the feel and performance I have now with the SS pads, with the hope of throwing in the odd track day in the future

Having the SR pads on the back too, I'd like to match or better the pads on the front performance wise. The FP3 sounds like it's more track suited if it's not as good cold, so I'll just grab the SR's, cheers guys

 

What Bill said. I've had both SS and SR, wouldn't do the SS again but the SR are great. They were excellent at Sandown with new RDA rotors too.
I have some squeal on the street under light pedal pressure but otherwise can't fault them.
Talk to Johnny for a deal :)

Had the Intima SR's on front now for a few weeks, they are really good.

No noise so far, minimal dust and decent amount of bite. Good pedal modulation under heavy braking

Street use only at this stage

I have Intima SR's as well on new RDA slotted rotors. Bedding in procedure was done correctly, but mine squeal like a pig when light breaking (i'm talking car park below 15km/h speeds)

On the road and under normal to heavy breaking they are noise free

I have Intima SR on the front on my wagon, it's quiet. Bit dusty though and overkill for my daily wagon use.

If it's a daily, should go SS :)

add a bit of copper grease between the caliper piston and brake pad - it helps :)

Bought Intima SR's from Johnny a while ago, they held up pretty good at Sandown, once hot they stopped awesome just felt I had to apply quite a bit of pedal pressure. Appart from the low speed sqeal I can't complain and Johnny was awesome to deal with

Power Stop in the US sent me a set of their "Track Day" pads.  Yeah, they're called "Track Day".   They're partners with Bondourant Driving School here and used on Vettes.

They're something like $65 and I think they're very cheap in comparison to what else is out there.  At New Jersey Motorsports Park I only had 30 minutes of track time due to an ABS pump failure but they performed well enough with ATE Type 200 fluid.  NJMP's Thunderbolt circuit has a two higher speed straights with braking zones from 120-130 to 60 MPH'ish.  The pads felt like they had no issues with the job.

After getting home and removing the pads, I think they wore down 50% or so.  I'd have to measure thickness but I'm not so sure they would have held up to a 2-day weekend and 120+ minutes of lapping.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
