Will do, and thank you!

Going from street pads to race pads is a one way street... once you drive on race pads, you won't want to drive on street pads.

I daily drive on Project Mu 999.

I should've been more specific about the feel/bite... I'm ok with it being firmer and more bite, I just don't want to go back the other direction.

How are the 999's compared to the club racers?

I run PMu 999's from @CounterSpace Garage and CL RC6E from @JRitt.

Love both sets and both are pretty comparable in all regards. Both have excellent release characteristics, work well across a broad temp range (consistent behavior), work well at very high temps, good initial bite (but not crazy). Both dust as much as you'd expect them to.

I haven't used the club racers.

Slightly increased initial bite, larger modulation range, higher temperature capacity (although it's not stated on paper), and much less mu drop off at high temps.

380hp s2k, stock sized brakes front/rear, 999 front/rear with Torque RT700 (David's car). The car is street driven with 999 as well.

I'm on the cl rc5+ f/r and ap sprint kit.

Loving them as a lazy mans pad, occasionally a bit noisy with street driving but fantastic when cold/wet. First week I put on it ended up consistently in the 40s and rainy. Never an issue with initial bite. The pedal feel and bite is giggle inducing.

Did an hpde last week, only a touch of pmu fluid had changed color when bleeding. Fantastic braking power at all points of every session.

Downsides: dusty, and expensive.

Just looked at the price difference between the club racers and 999's, yikes

The 999's sound good, but are a bit out of the budget for this year.

jvincent · 05-27-2014, 08:26 PM

Adding my two newbie cents in here, I ran the Winmax W4 at the track last week and had zero issues. Plenty of stopping power for my skill level.

They are still on the car for street duty and aren't noisy at all. I'm planning another track day in July where I will hopefully push them harder.

how are the 999's on the discs?

Similar to any other sintered metal pad. With your application, you'll probably swap disks from heat checking/microfracturing getting to a scary level, rather than the disks too thin.

Shameless self promotion: CSG carries every pad mentioned in this thread. Every, single one.

What's your shipping to Canada like? Will you send USPS (or really, anything other than UPS)?

For our Canadian brethren, we ship USPS to help you guys out. Always specify through e-mail or PM so we can make sure it gets shipped properly.

We can ship USPS.

Please keep in mind that USPS flat rate boxes have a 20lb limit (enough for about ~3-5 sets of front pads, or 2-3 full sets of front/rear pads, depending on what pad and caliper it's for)

I don't see CL RC5+ pads for the Twins.
