Amanita Posted yesterday at 03:02 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:02 AM I've got another possible track date coming up, and I'm starting to push the limits of the EBC Redstuff pads I've been running for the past 6 track days plus 35,000+ miles on the street. I'm looking for something more aggressive since this isn't my daily driver anymore. EBC offers a direct upgrade in braking performance with their yellowstuff pads, but I've heard people say they're not the best brand. Any recommendations for pads? Additionally, has anyone used Bosh 5.1 or Motul RBF 600/660 brake fluid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, has anyone used Bosh 5.1 or Motul RBF 600/660 brake fluid? Cooling ducts pointed towards the back center of the rotor (essentially at the hub) will be the most helpful. Hard to do on a front wheel drive car that isnt an all out race car (to where you can put an inlet hole or naca duct wherever you please ) Also remove the dust shields. Ive used motul race fluid extensively. No issues with it. As far as pads for our caliper I do not know who makes performance pads that fit - but pagid, hawk (blue), carbotech all are good race pads. Im sure for track days EBC are fine - I do not know of and have not seen anyone using ebc in actual racing (but im also not inspecting cars or asking people about brake pads at the race track lol ) Use plain cast iron rotors and not drilled or slotted or anything silly like that. Cooling. Cooling. Cooling. Amanita 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for pads, YellowStuff seem to be the most performance oriented ones readily available, I've had one guy tell me they did perfectly fine on a 24 hours of lemons car and another tell me they got burned out after 2 track days. I might go with them anyway, I'm only 15 minutes out from the track I'm at so if I have to tow or do a hasty repair, oh well lesson learned.
