Need brake pad recommendation

[Simms]

I'm looking for a good street/track pad that won't generate a huge dust storm. I had EBC greens, which were good on the street, but basically were crap on the track and burned up (the rears literally are burnt brown).

I have heard mixed reviews on the EBC Reds. What are your thoughts? Thanks.

Gosh, I almost hate to say call Jon B at Parts Rack, but it is Thursday. He always has advise.

Hawk HP's Or HP Plus. I like'em !

stock pads work great for me even on track days and last a long time.

I've used every color EBC has and they were all horrible on the track. That was a few years ago. Maybe they're better now. But I'm not moving off PFC 01 until somebody comes out with a pad that feels like somebody stuck a broomstick in the spokes.

I currently run Brake Man 3's on the track, based on several reccomendations. They are much better than the EBCs on the track. They have good longevitiy for a track pad, and pretty good bite. I am looking for more bite, in exchange for longevity. Once my BM3's wear out, probably after my next event, I'll be trying something new. If you're looking for a good pad that will give you track longevitiy, the BM3's are a good price value for a track pad.

I recently went through the same thing as you. I ended up going with the stock pads. Although a bit more expensive, they work good for street or track.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

Excuse my ignorance Chuck, but what does PFC stand for?

Your question is flawed from the get-go... Mintex makes a good street pad (no dust with decent bite). BM#3 is an excellent track pad, but in order to do so, will generate significant dust. You can't really have both...

BTW, I've heard that wrecked Vipers are often found to have EBC greens on them - too much HP and not enough "whoa" power.

Rich, I was waiting for someone to tell me I can't have both . Thanks for the input.

Thanks REDSLED.

I just need something to hold me over until I switch to SRT brakes.

Hey Ian,

I like the new EBC Red Ceramics, very low dust, and good bite(also 1/2 the cost of all out track pads) The new Yellows should be ok also

What's good for one doesn't really work for the other Depends on how much time you spend on the track

I had HP+ pads on my Talon and loved them. But...they did dust a little. The Stock ACR pads seem to work well, but again, they dust a lot.

Never tried PFC's but that's what I will go with unless, I pick up a big brake kit.
