I'm thinking about purchasing a set of Endless SSS brake pads for my integra gsr, and my current set of brake pads is Cobalt Friction GT-Sport, and I think those are really nice pads!

I'm just seeking opinion and experience with those Endless pads and how will they compare with Cobalt Friction GT-Sport. below is some info i found about those Endless SSS pads.

Non-Steel Series
Driving Field : Street
Recommended Tire Use : Radial Tires
Appropriate Rotor Temperature : 35-935 Degrees F
Average Coefficient of Friction : 0.35 - 0.43


also, if i remember correctly isn't those GT-Sport coming out with new formula or replacements?

 

I love the GT Sport pads, too.

Based on the specs, it appears that that particular Endless pad is intended only for street use. It sounds a lot less grippy than the GT Sport pads. I haven't tried it, but I tried the Endless CCX brake pads, which I believe is more aggressive than the SSS. The CCX had a nice bite and did well on the track, but squealed too much on the street for my taste.

Cobalt has posted their new pad compounds on their website, but without a lot of details yet. It appears that they will continue to sell the GT Sport pads, as they are listed along with the new compounds.

 

They will have new GT-Sports on the way too with different compounds for front and rear axle. The idea is more torque, higher temperature threshold and less rotor wear than the old version which I rather like a LOT.

 

The new Cobalts do sound pretty friggin fantastic. The new GT-Sports will be a completely different compound supposedly with lower initial temp, higher fade temp, better rotor wear, and no need for bedding. It will still keep the GT-Sport name though.

 

where do you guys purchase your cobalt friction pads from? (for a good price)

either way, i'm sure it will cost less then the endless pads

 

PM user My95SlvtBlt, I think he's selling Cobalt pads now. If not, http://www.cobaltfriction.com is the source.

I buy all my cobalt stuff through civicrr on the boards. He is an authorized dealer, (PDQ motorsports on the cobalt website). And he has first had knowledge of some of the new compounds.

 

From what I read on another site the new Cobalt GT has an upper range temp of 1500 degrees. I don't know how it compares to the previous compound.

 

thanks guys, looks like i won't be getting those endless sss pads, thx!

1500? holy crap.
The old GT-S was good to around 950. I wouldn't use them as a track pad on my Civic or WRX, but they certainly never got anywhere close to fading while autocrossing the WRX.

I think 1500 is a lot more than the old Spec B track compound as well. Wow.

I might have to give their XR2 compound a shot.
