[Tigers] Brake pads for competition. What is the latest?

[mwood24020 at aol.com]

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"
