    hey guys & gals,
    what brake pads are you using for the track ?
    I fitted Brembo 07HO63SA sintered pads last July, they are now completely worn out after only 3 months (10 track days). They were almost metal to metal at Aragon last week :(

    cheers,
    Andy

    10 trackdays isn't so bad, is it?
    Vesrah RJL are brilliant in every way, but the UK importer no longer supplies them. They last ages for me doing road and track.
    You might have to get them from USA though.

    Sbs dual carbons are really good in dry

    +1 for the SBS Dual Carbon pads. They do wear out somewhat quick, but in terms of stopping power are a single finger operation even with the stock calipers and master cylinder.

    I went from the original nissin pads to sbs race sintered (RS).

    I’ve done one trackday at Donny on the nissins and another at Donny on the SBS pads and the difference is night and day.

    I’m still slow AF though :D

    So far the best ones we've found have been EBC GP Fax or SBS DS1

    10 track days is really good longevity wise I'd say.

    SBS DS01/DS02. Did 6 trackdays with them so far, still going. Lasting 10 doesn't seem so bad...

    Those pads are quite expensive but they're very good and they'll last well.
