Performance Parts Canada. Where and Who?

[wparsons]

Very fair point too. You can get the StopTech front and rear for about the cost of the Ferodo fronts.

As for more places...

Machine Motorsports
JRP
Touge Tuning
NextMod
Teknotik
Uniq Performance

In all honesty, just google the part you want with toronto and see what pops up, that's how I've found deals many times.



I'm with you on not wanting to swap pads for an event, I have way better things to spend my time on

You're welcome to come for a drive in mine once the summer pads/wheels are back on anytime. I daily drive with DS2500's without issue. They have a very minor squeal the first couple stops when cold under light braking, but aren't offensive at all (my wife didn't notice the difference after the swap, and she HATES noisy brakes). The only put the stock pads back on because they wear less and are cheaper to replace, so why not run them all winter when I don't need higher heat capacity.



Are you running the stock tires still? I found on stock tires the stock pads weren't terrible, but on sticky tires they couldn't take the heat. I overheated mine on the DDT so bad that I had almost no friction at all. The pedal stayed hard, but no stopping power. After putting in the DS2500's I haven't had an issue yet.

I'm definitely not a class winning driver, so a better driver running longer sessions might still cook these pads, but for my usage they're about perfect.

Disclaimer to all, they dust A LOT. The dust wipes off easily with a wash mitt, sponge, etc, but there is a lot of it!

Dude calm down. It takes 10 minutes tops a corner to do pads and rotor. Besides, you should be inspecting your stuff before any sort of high stress. If anything, it's a perfect time to swap them as you're draining the oil. I'd much rather have a set of dedicated track stuff. Pretty much will last me like 10 years. I'm of the opinion that running your track stuff on the street is a waste. My car is brand new, might as well use up the stock pads and rotors with the less demanding street driving that I do.

Buddy you talk as if your the only person with an opinion. Get off the high horse... Smh.

While you guys are arguing, I just wanted to say thanks guys for the recommandations for places to order parts. I had almost given up on finding parts at a reasonable price in Canada.

If you have more, go ahead!

How many events do you plan to do in a year? Are you swapping wheels/tires for track stuff? What summer tires are you running? If they're really sticky you'll probably find you want better than stock pads on the street.

There's no way it only takes 40 minutes total to swap out pads/rotors unless you're only counting the time from the car being in the air with the wheels already off. You don't have to go through all that for a pre track inspection, you can do everything with the wheels on easily.

You're the one asking for opinions, and you'll see I'm not the only one suggesting you don't need to be swapping for the track.

Go see how many people running time attack or auto x events change out their pads between street and track use, it's a much smaller group than you would imagine.

My whole point was that you don't NEED to be wasting time with swapping parts, there are great parts that will fit every need you have from them. If you enjoy swapping brake pads twice a weekend, then more power to you, but I would rather shoot myself than do that all summer.

Dude seriously, I never asked for your opinion on brakes nor do I care. For some reason you just keep replying... Adhd? I've got this thread and all the serious track warriors to give their reviews for me

I asked for Canadian performance shops to ease our shopping. You contributed. Thanks. Now stfu!

Pull your head out of your ass and stop being a giant douche? Every bit of information I gave you in this thread could've been found in 30 seconds on google if you had even tried. I know because that's exactly how I found it originally.

You come on asking questions, then get pissed off when people aren't swinging off your nuts. Get a clue. You're the one that thinks you know better, I'm just offering up real world experience which you don't have yet.

Jesus, guys. Move on lol

I asked why the obsession with changing out parts when you don't have to, I didn't call you an obsessive person. There's a difference.

Wow. Asking what your obsession with changing parts out when you don't need to is hate? Pull your head out of your ass and get a clue man. What you posted is hate, me asking a simple question is not.

I'm not going to list off all the much higher end cars I've driven (and/or tracked), but this is definitely not the first sports car I've driven hard. That's irrelevant too since you're the one asking for where to buy parts and looking at list of parts that won't fit what you want them to do (front pads only, no mention of fluid, etc).

So you're OG and hardcore, but couldn't find a single good retailer in the GTA? Astounding. I knew a couple of the RaceWorld guys, I'd hardly call a bunch of show Honda's race cars either.

Go re-read this and see who actually gave you the information you asked for.

I choose to run the stock pads and rotors for the street and my track style pads for when racing- offends you? Is that it? A simple brake swap and check

I'm not offended, I'm just trying to give suggestions to save you time and effort that you don't need to be wasting. You got your panties in a knot over someone giving you a suggestion.

Forgetting your show car background, have you ever tracked your cars? Have you talked to people that actually compete in autox or time attack to see what they do for brakes? All I was trying to do was steer you in the right direction because you were headed off the rails.

After how you behaved in other threads I thought about not giving you the information you asked for, but figured other people could use it as well so I posted it. You act like a child, as soon as you aren't getting exactly what you want you snap.

[ichitaka05]

Both of you guys chill, specially OP. If I get another report about this I'll lock this thread without hesitation.

Wparsons have gave a good info. What he have stated is an one option & a lot of driver who do autox & TA, often do this setup (me included).

BUT that doesn't mean OP option isn't wrong. Just take hellova longer time, effort & money. Also when you do this setup, you need re-adjusting braking lvl (due to braking grib lvl changes than your normal braking) often you waste few laps instead of focusing on the course.

My recommendation, get Winmax W2. Low dust, no noise & perform better than some of the top class pads. If you're serious about winning the title go with W3. Both can run in the street without any issues.

Interesting.. how about wear? Do you find they wear faster or slow than stock?

[ichitaka05]

I would say, lasted longer than stock & lasted hellova longer than stoptech pads. Those were gone faster than OEM ones

[FLYFISHR]

Are the Winmax pads available at a shop in canada or just online?

Oh yeah, forgot that this is Canada thread. Sorry

Yeah, only way is through online (unless you live in SoCal). Cusco USA is the main distributor for the pads, so if there's a shop that carry Cusco parts, they might be able to ship those pads.

I can't comment on StopTech pad wear, but I know my Ferodo pads wear much faster than the OEM pads.

How hard are the pads you're talking about on rotors? I find most pads that take more heat but last longer are also much harder on rotors, but that might not be the case with these ones?
