Hawk HPS vs Carbotech 1521

Yes thanks very much for the explanation.



Sorry for the little detour there. Back to some pad comparisons!

Once I am ready to upgrade from the Wilwood pads that came with my brakes (I thought they did pretty well at RTTC actually) I am leaning toward the HP+ on the recommendation of Dave Pozzi.

Because cars transfer weight differently based on the deceleration rate, with more weight being transferred at higher deceleration rates, you would normally tune your balance beam for maximum the deceleration rate that your tires can handle. This means that your brakes are optimized for maximum deceleration, exactly what you want in a track environment. When doing anything less than maximum braking, you will however be underutilizing your rear brakes/tires.

this is the part i was having trouble understanding. that clears it up again.

i ended up getting the ax6 full pads and they got here today. im still waiting to see if im keeping them since there was a slight error on the part of the company i ordered them from. i am supposed to hear back tomorrow.

its going to be a little while before i actually use them, but im thinking that squealing will be minimized with the manual brakes and increased pressures required to slow my car down. i have a few pounds on the z06 they were designed for.
