I just figured we have too many spring rate threads and this is another good one . . .

Cobra - Who is bored and trying to lighten up some of the tension in here

 

I heard Hawk HP+ works well. I ran stockers up front and $11 AutoZone secials out back last weekend, and they worked fine. Much better then trying to run R4 for AutoX.

SPiFF, who this year will have Hawk Blue and Porterfield R4 for track and Hawk HP+ for AutoX.

 

YO WHY U GOTA HATE YO!!!! I ASKD A SIMPLE QUSTEN AN U GOTA BE ALL LIKE DO A SEARCH!!!!! YO JUS TELL ME WHUT I NEED 2 NO!!!





Cobra - Who has no intention of auto-xing the GSR in anything other than race trim so the question was actually a joke

 

For street and auto-x, the best choices for a good dual-duty pad are:

Axxis Ultimate (most streetable of the three)
Hawk HP Plus (least streetable of the three)
Porterfield R4S (in between in terms of streetability)

All three will offer similar braking performance in terms of bite and feel, with the HP Plus have a slight edge in terms of bite. Temperature ranges are similar.

I personally recommend the Axxis Ultimate, however.

HTH... -A

LOL? Someone asks the question seriously and usually gets told to search.
Someone asks the question mostly tongue-in-cheek and gets slew of instant, informative responses!

 

I have used Axxis MetalMasters and Porterfield R4's with good success on street and autox.

But I drive a Lightning, so the above bit of info is useless here.

Edit: MetalMasters suck on track.

I figured .. hense the " ". If you are going to bring the #24 mule out for AutoX, you should still get some pads. I did 3 autoxes on race pads last year since I didn't have anythign else .. and man .. they didn't work too good. I ran R4 which is my drive to/from track and Roebling Road pad. The stockers work much better.

MYOB!

3 cups ground beef
1 cup chopped chicken
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 diced tomatoes
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
Bake together at 300 degrees in aluminum pan for 15 minutes.

Oh, brake pads... not burritos. Rats. J00 got me twisted, dawg.

Hawk HT20s r00l on my 'Rex with my mad breaking skillz.

 

Actually for the best brakes for autox:

First step: blow your floorboard out using the NOS nitrous oxide systems system just before you blow the welds on your intake manifold (the "just before" part is very important...)

Second step: Get a nice set of Adidas with thick soles and jam them through your aformentioned missing floorboard whenever you need to brake.

Works for me every time.

y0 what type of brake padz should i get to help me with my mad drifting techniques???

 

heehhhhheeheh

You should get water cooled brakes like those on the european recing big rigs!

 

What pads should I use for this truck?

 

Actually... the Endless CC-D pads I think they are called, are rear-only pads designed to be used for e-brake drifting.

 

I've heard tha Bounty paper towels are the secret "trick" set up. Ask whitney, krshultz, or MaddMatt about it... Shhhh... don't tell...

 

I posted this last year, but friends don't let friends use Metal Masters for track events. Unfortunately, I didn't know this friend was using them until his brakes caught fire. Maybe this is just a isolated incident, but then again....

Next time tell him to use EBC pads and you'll bring the weenies and marshmallows.

 

ApC iNdAgLoW x-DrIzZiLleD pAdZ y0!!!!!

 

Hey! That's not English!

 

oO?

 

Regrettably, there is a deficiency in mad writing skillz.

 

Oo!

 

DrIzZiLleD? drizzilled? YO!!!!!

 

yEaH y0!, DrIzZiZzIlEd, SkIzZiZziZzIlEd, AnD tRiZzIzZiLed

 

When I display my mad drifting skills at the local street races, I use either VGX or EBC. EBC is da bomb. They like, won some award in that fine English automotive publication, Max Power. Yeah. EBC, Max Power ownz joo.

Yo.
