I'm going to change the brakes this week before the expo and want some "Driver" opinions. What are today autocrossers using? Whats a good set up? Let me know. I did do a search, but seemed like opinions just came from street use drivers. This question is related to the track. Thanks for the help. Car is to be used for Solo II for now.

Hawk HP+ or Cobalts from Andie

 

Carbotech Panther +'s


they are perfect for street/autox use as well as HPDE weekends

Are these brake pads to be used every day? On the street as well as on the track?

How much track experience do you have?

What kind of brake fluid are you using?

Honda Tech Favourites:
Cobalt Friction Spec VR (heavy track use/racing)
Cobalt Friction GT Sports (enthusiastic driving, part time tracking)

Carbotech XP8 (heavy track use/racing)
Carbotech Panther Plus (enthusiastic driving, part time tracking)

Both companies have a lot of experience designing brake pads for racing IT-type cars like our ITR. Even their racing compounds are easy on the brake rotors as far as wear goes. I noticed, however, that my last three-day track event brought out heat stress fractures on my rotors, even though the rotors weren't worn much.

 

call Andie at Cobaltfriction.com I just ordered my pads from him. I'm going with Cobalt Gt Sports in F & R

Andie is very very helpful

I was just about to post the same thing. The EXACT same thing.

Thats what I use. I like them.

 

I'm using GT-Sports in the rear and Spec-B's instead of VR's up front. I like the VR's, but decided to save some $ and get the B's instead. I like them.

 

I love my Carbotech Panther +'s (fronts) / Axxis Ultimates (rears) combo

great for the track and everday driving

 

VR's and 1108's on Hatch.
