Everything discussed is all theoretical, but not validated. DTC60 is the bare minimum if anything at all, but be prepared to wash your car often so it doesn't discolor the paint where the dust touches. |

I am running Carbotech XP10's which I don't really care for on a Stoptech BBK. They are noisy, dusty, and I can smear them if I am not careful.
I am going to try the CSG C1's next. |

Like good tires with different categories of greatness, brake pads are the same. I'm certain we can get you running with the proper gear granted you're willing to take the advice. |

I had a rear brake pad fall out of the caliper at the end of Thompson CT main straight. The piston shot out and I lost most of the fluid. I don't know why but I did a brake check from 110 down to about 60, then went for the brakes again after a second and I had literally no pedal. Straight to the floor.
That was easily top 5 scariest things I've ever experienced. Turned out I received the wrong rear DBA rotor and didn't think anything of it when I installed it. Premium vs Limited = limited is thicker and vented. I received a premium rotor. I'm dumb for not questioning that but I just wanted to get it out on the track. Really really stupid mistake. |

Mike and I have talked about my situation a while ago. Are the C1's close to the same coefficient of friction as the XP10's? I have not had a chance to get my car out much this year so if they are not I will replace them as a F/R set this year. If they are close I will swap the fronts out now cause I just flat do not like the way they feel on the front end. |

Another vote no on the HC+800. Had those pads and did not like them for track use.
Unkike others, I thought the xp10's (on 4 corners) were decent for the price. Need to bed them in well though. But it wasnt until upgrading to a BBK that I had complete confidence in my brakes.

As the pace increases, other setups are required. Because we've tested so many configurations, so many products, and range of products, it's easy for us to recommend what will work and provide the next stepping stones for the client. |

I'm going to echo what everyone else has said and say this is a clear case of brake pad fade. The fact you encountered brake pad fade with those tires should be telling you how terribly unsuitable the EBC Yellows are for track use. It would have faded even quicker on stickier tires, most likely. Personally I've found that there is no substitute for a dedicated track pad, even on tight tracks with lower speeds entering hard braking zones. I'm currently running the CSG Spec pads and loving them for their linearity, but if you don't want to spend quite that much yet I'd recommend trying Carbotech XP10s or Ferodo DS1.11s. I've used both and had good experiences with both. |

Considering that I'm not (yet) willing to spend 400$ on pads for front only and recommendations on this topic (THANKS GUYS! ) my top 3 would be (in no particular order): CARBOTECH XP10 Project Mu Club Racer HAWK DTC-60 I think you got an idea of my current needs so I would appreciate your recommendation! Thanks! P.S. still not willing to change pads for track/street |

Expense is never easy to calculate. Over time, those $400 pads are very possibly cheaper... Just like a BBK can pay for itself.
