Brakes are shot!
As most of you know by now I am racing my SS/TC on the track on a regular basis.
After approx 200 very hard laps and 4000km street driving my brakes are shot.
I will need pads & rotors all four corners for our next event Aug23.
I am just doing some homework, so please post ideas & links of what is out there...
Thanks in advance.

Look at pads by Hawk (I think that's what they're called) for the rears since anything through the dealer (including the rotors) is going to take upwards of 3 months to come in. Rotor wise you may be stuck with a resurface since I'm not aware of any aftermarket rear rotors.

Well I believe you can only order factory original rotors, nothing fancy out yet. And for brakes, you can upgrade to hawk. They have a few different applications for us in front and back

Brake Pads -- Hawk, etc.

If necessary, go to the 'Home' site and put in your vehicle details.

The calipers ARE different than the Sport!

I would do Hawk any day over EBC(red,green or blue), Hawk pads seem to have a bit more longevity. Although with all the track days you do its going to be tough to find the perfect set up that will last....

Thanks for the replies! Sorry I did not "search " first...
After closer inspection I may get away by machining my rotors and just do pads, will know more this weekend.
So far I am looking at the Hawk HP+ for the front and HPS on the rear. I used to race the Grand Sport GS3 / GS5's by Satisfied Motorsports on my Cobra with great results...
Anyboby ran the HPS's on the track yet?
