Well i'm a hard person on car's and the stock brakes don't normally hold up. I'm looking to upgrade my 2009 sport brakes with the akebono calipers. The rotors have warped since last winter so i haven;t done any track days this year. I'm shopping for a great set of pads that'll hold up at the track but since be ok for normal driving. Rotors that can take high speed braking at the track and not warp. thought's anyone?

 

How do you have sport brakes that aren't Akebonos?

There a lot of discussions for rotors and pads. The short answer, to save you time, is that track pads are not street pads. If you're that hard on cars, you should have a dedicated set of track pads and one for street use. Stoptech street performance are good street pads, and I recommend carbotech for track pads.

Get a set of two piece rotors if you're serious about auto crossing and road racing. Z1 makes a decent set, as does Disc Brakes Australia. Pair that with stainless lines and motul 5.1 fluid. That's what I use.

 

if you care at all about class, check to make sure that a bbk upgrade won't move you into modified or something silly like that

 

Oh I forgot to say, i do have akebono brakes. I just seeing who has what cause i warped my rotors bad. Thanks for the input

 

Most often you don't warp a rotor, you brake pad deposit material on it at different heights. Get them resurfaced, don't set the ebrake when you come to a stop after a run, and try to cool them down before you stop. Try brake duct cooling lines and get a good pad like carbotech and call it a day.

 

Get the racing brake 2 pc front rotors and pads. Don't buy their rear 2 pc rotors.

 

Why? What's wrong with there rear two piece rotors?

i went with stoptech cyro treated crossed drilled rotors and there pads. So far there great.

 

I was at the shop this weekend and found an example of why I personally do not recommend drilled rotors.
