We have been experimenting with some different pad compounds. We have not had
issues with pads from Carbotech or Hawk. Both companies have been very helpful
and delivered good product to us.
Additionally, we just had an excellent experience with a Porterfield on an
order.
On the other hand, we have come to find that there is someone in the US that
represents their rear brake shoe linings as being good for racing. We tried it
and in one session we knew it was not a compound made to work at race
temperatures. Therefore, we went around the seller and we tracked down the
company doing the relining for the seller . The shop owner was really nice on
the phone and they have confirmed what we thought in a test. The lining that
is being used is NOT FOR RACING PURPOSES. It is a Cool-stop lining designed
for street car use only. The compound that is being misrepresented is made to
work well at low temps. That was a disappointing waste of $150 and a brake
job��We ran them one weekend took them off. Now the backing plates will
now be sent for a proper race lining.
