Which track pads do you want me to compare? What kind of tires are you using?

If you just want maximum torque, I can recommend a pad with 0.8 mu, but you will, literally, just lock up your tires with a brush of the brake pedal if you're not running slicks.

Generally speaking, the super ultra late braking technique will not help you go faster on track. Superior composure and control on corner entry is more important.

THIS literally happens:

Still running michellin pss (215 45 17) i like it how i can oversteer in the exit, its more showoff so im not aiming best time laps. I just want which pads give me better initial bite to make a quick weight transfer to do so.

Whatever keeps you in front, without breaking the rules.

I think you missed the key thing in the video that basically every driver iterates: you have to work up to it.

What pads are you using now?

StopTech, they are ok?

That's a street pad, not a track/race pad. Try a real race pad. Literally, any real race pad will be a huge upgrade for you. At this point, there is no Right or Wrong, Best or Worst. You just need to try it first, and then start experimenting with other brands.

What's available to you locally?

Unless you're willing to pay international shipping, you'll be better off seeking options locally.

My personal choice is the Project Mu 999, which can be found easily in Japan.
