Default StopTech BBK with streetperformance pads

I just purchased a StopTech BBK which comes with their streetperformance pads.

i currently run project mu HC800 pads with brake ducting at all 4 corners and get about 2-3 track days out of my brake pads all around. I’m wondering if with the BBK I will be able to get away with running the included pads on track or am I just going to burn through those pads in 2-3 days as well? My goal for purchasing the kit was to improve pad/rotor life on track, and if those pads are going to dissentegrate and fade on track I’ll be really disappointed to ruin a day and also burn up what would be great street pads. Should I just go ahead and buy HC800 for the front as well? Let me know your thoughts.

the pads the kit comes with last forever. So much so that I just bought other pads and swapped them because they never wore out. Now if they arent wearing out, that means they arent a very aggressive pad. So you aren't stopping as fast.

Thanks for the reply. Did you use them on track though? I expect street life would be literally forever since I drive 3k street miles a year. Haha.

Do they make the project mu hc800 pads for stoptech calipers?

Yes they do. I’m tempted to just buy them since I’ve been happy with them on stock calipers, however if the stoptech’s will last me the season I’d rather save the $250.

HC800's are a ~1400F pad.

Stoptech 309's are around the same.

The BBK will keep them below that temp for longer than your stock brakes.

I've used 309's on the track. I was fine using them on a fairly slow speed track (Gingerman) on a 100% stock AP2 with 300TW Kumho SPT tires and my DC2-R with a K24.

With a BBK, you'll likely do just fine with the 309's if your car is NA.

Thanks B Serious, that’s helpful info. I’m NA stock power. Track is hard on brakes and so am I but I was hoping the BBK would keep temps low enough on those pads that I won’t burn through them.

You'll be fine if you're NA. On the Los Angeles area tracks which I would consider moderate (not heavy) on brake wear, I think I have a 10 track days, around two hundred auto-x runs, 20k street miles, and I'm only halfway worn through the pads. Of importance, track days were with brake ducts.

Awesome that’s encouraging. I have brake ducts all around.
