Need answer by morning: Brake question

CarQuests house brand is made by Akebono and the gold box is the same as the PROact full ceramic. Cheap and work surprisingly well under race conditions. They do take a bit to break in. We have tried destroying them on one of our M3 track cars and they actually did better than a few racing pads (to stay un-named).

Good Luck

I would forget the off-the-shelf choices and call Porterfield. They made us up some 505 turbo pads and had them in our hands in a week. Not only that but now that they have the specs they can make us replacements even quicker. BTW they don't just sell their own pads but other brands like Hawk as well.

I see where icemang and soloracer are coming from but we learned with the heavy cars a aggressive pad does not work well unless you have drivers who are aware of them and know how to use them properly.  Even with knowledgeable seasoned racers the racing pads melted the seals out of our calipers and had to limp around the track. We currently upgraded the front brakes to Mercedes SUV front brakes and decided to use factory pads and just get a lot of air into them to keep temps down. It has so far worked very well and hauls the 4800 lbs down surprisingly quickly with no over heating.  if your plan is to get the brakes done by tomorrow make sure you pull off or cut off the backing plate and run some kind of ducting to them.
