OK we are doing the 'OIL' talk so lets do the brake pad one too.

So what are you guys running? Are you finding bias issues needing correction with pads?

I have always run Pagid pads as long as I can remember but they dont make 944 N/A pads that I can tell. So what it the word?

EBC yellow front. 1 EBC yellow and 1 blue in the rear

I have a little over 1 season on them racing and 8-10 HPDE days before I had to change the blue in the rear. The yellows are still going strong even in the front. We'll see how they hold up @ Road America in a few weeks.

One rear blew out before the other? Or is there a balance issue you are being tricky with

Have you tried anything else?

No blow out, wore out. The blue wears faster than the yellow and has less bite. With all yellows in the rear, they lock up very easily. So I installed one blue pad and one yellow in each rear caliper to help with front to rear ballance. I can still lock up the rear but it's much harder to do.

OK interesting. So to take advantage of that you must have an LSD installed.

I can honestly say that out side of circle track I have never heard of left to right pad changes in compound!

Joe, I think you mis-understood Ken. he doesn't have blues on side of the car, and yellows on the other. He has a blue pad on one side of the rotor, and a yellow on the other. Still a novel approach.

I do find that I need to address bias with different pads front to rear. I had significant rear lock up issues running Hawk Blues all around. Many guys in our region use Hawk Blue front, and HP+ in the rear. I now use DTC-60 pads in the front, and Blues in the rear - a similar bias F/R but more bite all around - less pedal pressure.
