Can't decide on brake pads...
#31
I'm not a brake expert, but seeing how the Spec C and PF 97 rears wear faster than the full race fronts on the track, it seems that the OEM rears would be gone in no time, and maybe fade?, making the fronts work even harder. Rears are pretty easy to change also if you use a flat file to turn the pistons, so no real need to compromise.

Yep, that's the right combination for track use. Change them before taking the car to the track and you'll be fine. I drive those to the track since I don't tralier the car and sometimes put my stockers back one, sometimes not, but my car isn't a daily driver.

RACER, did you change your brake fluid when you changed to the project Mu pads? If so, that might be why you experienced little fade.

No, Hawk Blues just wear rotors while staying remarkably intact themselves
(btw, I was one of the ones that helped you clear out the last of the rear blues from your inventory so don't get too down on me! )

Kit, yep I know and thanks I was just pointing out one of the err advantages of the Blues
My Spec Cs do that to my rotors too but it doesn't bother me nor does it prevent the car from stopping.
