I got videos of you though. And that's worth like a 1000 pictures.

#1: 999 ramps up differently from Club Racer. You will find the modulation characteristics and your ability to control your brake temperatures to be far more favorable than any brake pad you have used in the past. You have to drive to your brake's potential, not dictate how you want the brakes to perform. This is where most people fail on how to drive their cars.

#2: HC+800 is a hybrid pad similar to a W3 and DS2500. It is a good entry level pad for people looking to start tracking their cars as it offers good modulation, heat capacity, and modest bite for those who have never driven quickly on a racetrack before. It also allows the driver to safely learn what it is like to drive at an elevated pace that is not necessarily seen on public roads. We like to suggest this pad for aggressive street drivers as well since it's a good safety item to have on daily vehicles. Hybrid pads have downsides though such as excessive noise, dusting, and lower heat capacity than your track pads. If you are even vaguely an intermediate driver, you have already outgrew the HC+800.

#3: Here's how I personally feel about the pads (@CSG Mike may have a different scale but our preferences are what makes us unique):
999 > W7 > XP12 ~ W6 > CR > W5 > XP10 > XP8 ~ W4 > W3 ~ DS2500 ~ HC+800.

Carbotech hold heat differently than Project Mu brakes. Again, you need to learn how to drive to the brake's potential. We can provide driver instruction services to help you gain that potential better.

#4: We can get anywhere from 4 days to 12 days on 999. YMMV depending on how you use the brakes. I daily on 999 on my personal car and have had them on my car for 2 years now with 1.5 years on the RT700 brake fluid. I have cracked 8 rotors, corded 2 sets of 255 RS3s, and have put approximately 20k miles on my car since I installed the pads. Again, it's all how you use your brakes.

Since we are on this topic... I need new pads, any suggestions? I have 14 more track days this year.

Friend 2:
Carbotech XP8 fronts and AX6 for the rear.

Recommendations?

What is your skill level. (ie. what times do you run at the various tracks if you run a lap timer)

Also, do not get hawk pads. Stick with Project Mu pads or Winmax pads in my opinion.

Do not stagger pads. (ie. if you are running XP8 front, run XP8 rear)

Take a look at this:

Recommendations?

What tires will you be using? What size tire? How much power are your running? Do you have brake ducting (doesn't really dictate too much on compound, but it'll help me figure out what compound will work best with cooling)? We may take this to PM.

Everyone should just start with 999. SHARTA approved pad for hyper performance track driving.

Holy shnikes! I said the 999s intrigued me before... now they don't intrigue me at all. The world is full of good race pads that aren't $600.
