Seriously. You need separate street pads and track pads.

@CSG Mike, you and I have spoken about these pads extensively - can you weigh in on their performance and your personal experience with them? Last edited by RJasonKlein; 07-20-2017 at 02:07 PM. Reason: Corrected a typographical error. |

Sort of a noob question but at what point do you make the call to resurface the rotors? How worn does it need to be?

OP, dont get too hung up on minimum temperature recommendation for the pads. None of the pads mentioned in this thread are hardcore race pads that need huge amounts of heat.
I daily XP10's which have a range of 250F-1650F and it bites stronger than OEM pads even on 40-45F days. |

I mean, if we are going to go with temp based recomendations, I would be a dead man by now, since I ran the DTC-60 pads on Canadian winters (below 0F) because I was lazy and cheap (didnt have extra pads, didnt want to swap them). They still bite more than oem pads, even on freezing temps. THe only thing, is they eat rotors more when cold, thats all, but you should be replacing rotors more often if you are tracking anyways, they will usually crack before they get too thin.

Yeah, its the rotor wear when operating below temp that I'm more concerned about. I don't need maximum braking power when slowing to a stop sign. I've been getting grooves in my rotor with my Hawks. How often do you replace rotors? How many events/months of daily do you get on them?

Oh wow! Maybe I feel less bad about my rotor wear then. Not sure how long the previous owner used those rotors, but I put a dozen autocross, 5 track days, 2 road trips of aggressive mountain driving, and 15k miles of street driving on them. So I guess they lasted pretty long...

Even I am in same boat as OP.
To everyone asking to run separate pads for track and street, do you change pads every time to want to go to the track. I go to track 3-4 times a year and autocross 5-6 times a year (summer is short here in Canada). I would find it very tedious to keep switching pads. |
