Need some brake pad advice?

[ACR steve]

Hey guys I have upgraded my brakes on my 99ACR to the SRT brakes with a proportioning valve. The stock pads have no feel and not a great initial bite.The brakes are all dialed in and now I need a very aggressive street pad that can be tracked also.
Thanks

I track my 01 ACR and run the SRT-10 brakes too.

For your street / track application, Brakeman III's should work well though they are a bit pricey.

Porterfield also makes a good street / track pad that should work well and save you some $$$$. For more info: :: #1 Race Specialist in The World :: »

Thanks,,,,,

I have personally used both Porterfields and Brakeman...... I feel the BM3 bite better initially, last longer, and are surprisingly less ******* rotors than the PF track pad..... The PF street pad is a short-life pad, and I would prefer EBC RED to that

I have THOUSANDS of track miles on BM3. $500 whole car SRT10, and WORTH IT in my opinion.......

DanX I respect your advise...but we've sent you a fair amount of BM3 including this year, right???

Are you concerned about dusting? I would think not on the track, but if you are not swapping them and using them on the street as indicated, it might be a concern.

Hey Jon,

Porterfield has many levels of brake pads from aggressive compounds to soft compounds as you likely know. They have an equivalent to Brakeman III which works very well as an all around pad and is very similar to BIII's performance for less $$$.

I currently run Brakeman III's on the rear of my GTS and Performance Friction Carbon Metallic Pads on the fronts, but my GTS is not run on the street very often, has Stoptech slotted race rotors and brake cooling ducts (that I bought from you).

Also, I don't care about brake dust or noise with this car, I just want to be able to stop very quickly again and again from speed without any stopping or brake bias issues. I have spent quite a bit of time getting the brake bias correct for this car with track tires, 305 front / 335 rears, front splitter / rear wing, and this combo works very well, even on very hot days without boiling my brake fluid.

Brakeman III's are a very good product. I do think they are a bit pricey though.
