Endless ME20 pads

[Muskoka800]

I’m interested in a track pad which I can use for the 100 mile highway commute to the track and very limited DD between track days.
Searching forums has revealed that the Porsche guys are liking the ME20 in this scenario. Is there any usage in the 86 chassis?
Educated opinions regarding the ME20 pad used for an 86 only please.
Note: I’m using the EvoX rear calipers (1368 pad shape) which limit rear pad choices unfortunately.

I've left on Ferodo DS1.11 and GLoc R12's for their entire lifetime. As long as you're fine with a brake noise and bit of extra disc wear from cold pads, there's no significant problem leaving track pads on between events.

ME20 is a great entry level race pad, but if you're going quick and have significant experience, you'll want to get higher up the product line.

ME20 is definitely a notch above the other pads mentioned here (DS1.11, R12), and you definitely get more value for the extra money spent vs the Ferodo/Gloc pads.

What front caliper are you using to match that EvoX rear? Have you factored in balance?

Hi Mike,
We’ve discussed my situation a while ago.
I run the CTS-V calipers out front which use 1001 pad shape.
With the EvoX rears the bias is almost identical to the OEM balance for the stock (non - PP) set-up. For that reason and according to many here a same compound pad is preferred.
I am not a racer but just a HPDE/Lapper out to have fun once a month. I recall, because CSG do not offer C2 pads in 1368 shape for the EvoX rear caliper you suggested the ME20 rear pads might match up with the CSG C2 fronts (1001).
That advise led me to google research the ME20 and to this post.
We have hired a coach for Monday so I hope to make my surprisingly able Stoptech Sport pads obsolete very soon.

I'd recommend you consider C21 front with ME20 rear, rather than C2 front, unless you already have the C2. In that case, ME20 will still work, but C21 front will work better with the ME20 rear.
