Raybestos ST-43- best
When the outside temp is 80 or lower I use EBC Yellow Stuff ceramic mostly because of cost. When the temp is higher than 80 I use Pagid black RS14 Ceramic. I use Zimmerman rotors. I find in the White solo group with late passing I'm harder on my brakes. A group of about 15 of CPA-PCA run Watkins Glenn about 4 times or more a year. We all carry at least one extra set of pad every weekend we're there. First time at Summit Point We had a multi Group solo track day. I had new pads put on Thursday EBC Yellow Tech and flushed with Blue High temp fluid. Sunday there were 2-1 hour sessions The lap before the Checker would have came out on the first session pedal to the floor and in the gravel turn 1. Pulled the pads had an 1/8" to 3/16" lining left. Just the fronts. I'm thinking a bad set of pad but :ah:
