For serious track use, the HP+ won't have enough temp ceiling. If
you
want to run Hawks, maybe a DTC-50 compound works for you.

I'm a big
fan of Carbotech's compounds. For the Tiger, XP8 front and
XP10 rear (if you
have rear discs) makes sense.

End of day, brake pad compound choice is one
of those kind of personal
choices. Lots of compounds should give the temp
range you're seeking,
but the initial bite, sensitivity to modulation and
overall feel will
vary

Brake pads for competition. What is the latest?

Hi Sunbeamers,

I'm
needing a set of new competition brake pads. I have been using
Porterfield
competition pads which have been OK (Please note I have the Dale A
ventilated
rotor and "spaced out" calipers installed).

I'm thinking of Hawk HP Plus
HB169N.560 at $94.46 from Summit Racing.
Cost
posted to Australia is $137.74
(USD).

I'm wondering if any of you that use your cars for speed events with
P16/M16
calipers have experience with anything better than these?

Cheers
from "Down Under"
David Tweddle (alias Tiger_DFT).
