Track brakes

[vijen6]

Thanks for the advice. Good point on the rotor / pad bedding topless.

It would be easier and certainly cheaper to run one set of pads for both street and track, though I read ( on this forum ) that its 'false economy'. The HPS while will perform much better on track than stock pads, will wear out much faster than HT-10s will on track while not performing as well as HT-10s. Supposedly in the end having two separate sets will last longer than buying one set used for both twice.

I'll try to locate that thread and link it here.

Re: melted sensor, I do have the GT3 ducts .. not GT3RS .. and my brake warning light came on after the 3rd 30 min session..

In my opinion... If you're worried about money that bad, then you probably shouldn't race very often. It is by no means a poor mans sport. And most of your money will go into tires anyways. I think if you want max performance you can always run your track pads on the streets also. Makes them work better on track days, but you will eat them faster.

I just go for the middle man, as it is not crazy expensive, quiet on the streets, and great on the track....

Driver is going to gain you more time than having better brakes....
