Could you tell us what pads are available for the Sprint System?

One of the great things about the Sprint and Endurance systems are the huge range of pad choice. They use what is commonly referred to as the Wilwood Bridge-bolt Superlite shape (in 20mm thickness). You can
see a drawing of the Hawk version here. This shape is available in just about every pad compound under the sun from all of the major manufacturers. Hawk's part# is HB521.800, so you should be able to cross reference that with your favorite pad manufacturer.
Below are the compounds we offer, but there are many, many others out there.
For the Sprint system, you'll need to stick with a pad that has a radial depth of 43mm or less (I'll pull together a blog post on this that clarifies a bit).
AP Racing S100
AP Racing C300
CL Brakes RC8
CL Brakes RC6
Ferodo DS2500 (D41 radial depth)
Ferodo DS3000 (D41 radial depth)
Ferodo DS1.11 (D41 radial depth)
Hawk DTC-05
Hawk DTC-70
Hawk DTC-60
Hawk DTC-30
Hawk HT-10
Hawk HP+
Hawk Black
Hawk MT-4
With the Endurance system you can run all of the pads above, but you also have the opportunity to run a D50 radial depth pad, as the swept area on the CP3908 disc is larger/taller than it is on the CP3862 used in the Sprint system. The taller radial depth will give you greater pad volume, which is inline with the Endurance concept. That means potentially longer pad life, as the larger pad volume offers a greater heat sink. We have a handful of excellent options in the D50 radial depth:
AP Racing S100 (D50)
AP Racing C300 (D50)
Ferodo DS2500 (D50, tall radial depth for more pad volume)
Ferodo DS3000 (D50, tall radial depth for more pad volume)
Ferodo DS1.11 (D50, tall radial depth for more pad volume)
In summary, you have an enormous range of pad options with the Sprint system. Just about every major pad manufacturer has something that will work. The pads are 20mm thick, and will last a very long time. Also, the price on this particular pad shape is very low since it is so common. That means low consumable costs as you wear through pads on the track. The Endurance system allows you to run all of the same pads as the Sprint system, but also allows you to run a pad with a slightly larger volume. That makes sense if you're running very long sessions, need greater heat capacity, etc.
I'll get some pics and further explanation up on this soon, which should make it clearer.
