I went through 1+ sets of pads. I still have the second set on the car
after many miles and autocrosses since May. They are very rotor friendly
and just as good when they are cold. I'm not sure, but I think they are
2500s, not 3000s.
Pagid oranges are also very good. We used a single set of those for the
12-hour enduro and have enough left for a few more sprint races. I haven't
used those on the street, so I can't tell you how they are on the street.

On set of Hawk Blues lasted me all 7 races of the OTC. How did your Ferodos
do? Are they really streetable at cold temps (the HBs aren't really, they
chew up rotors if the pads aren't hot enough for the copper in them to melt
and lubricate things properly).

Ferodos are awesome! Not a lot of people know about them. Jay at Ground
Control introduced me to them and I've been using them ever since. I ran
them at the Open Track Challenge and at the Nationals. I use them on the
street every day. Great grip, no squeal.

Subject: Any recommendations on Brake Pads?
I am about to do the brakes on my Miata. Does anyone have any
recommendations
or personal experiences with different brands?
I have been thinking about the following
Axxis Metal Master
Axxis Ultimate
EBC Green stuff Kevlar
Hawk
I realize that for autocross the stock pads are fine. What I want an
improvement
in is for stopping power at freeway speeds. However I don't want pads that
will
increase peddle effort or need warming up before they work. I also don't
want
them to be noisy.
Any recommendations?
