CSG CP pad use update

[CSG Mike]

CSG CP pads with about 7 hours (rounded down) of track use on my 2022, plus ~2500 mixed street use.

All tires used are stock, or similar/lower grip. The CP is a street pad that can handle light duty track use with lower grip tires. These are not meant for track rats, veterans running competitively with super 200tw "street tires", slicks, or heavily modified track cars. They're designed for folks who want a silent, OE+ street pad, that has the capacity to handle light track duty and/or isolated high speed stops.

~0.75 hours at Streets of Willow Springs
~2 hours at Speed Vegas
~1.25 hours at Auto Club Speedway (heavy brakes, full sessions)
~4 hours at Buttonwillow (full sessions)

Mixed drivers at all venues.

- No radial taper on the inboard pad.
- Outboard pad had a small radial taper. Suspected cause to be the caliper bracket tacoing when hot under heavier load. Inboard pad/caliper is secured onto the knuckle, but the outboard pad has no mounting at the center. Par for the crouse on stock calipers while running long sessions.

How do these pads compare to the ferrodoDS2500?

Hi eyeballs,

The CSG CP has a performance ceiling similar to some entry level race pads with high fade resistance (for a performance/dual compound pad), but has all the benefits of a proper street pad, including lower dust and lower noise qualities.

Thanks,
