StopTech Sport pads: thoughts?
Hi guys - thoughts on the StopTech Sport pads? I was originally going to get the DS2500, but they are on backorder from Italy. I have a HPDE event on July 9th (anyone else going to MPACT @ Pocono?), and desperately need a set of pads (see previous post titled "Noob Questions"). Any other recommendations?
Note: I do not have the ability to switch out pads for the track events My driving requirements: - 50 mile commute to work every day - AutoX ~2 times a month - 2 to 4 HPDE events coming up this year |

For street they dust less and are more linear than stock. Given that they'll be new pads, you have a lot more thickness that on those stock pads you're using prior. That alone provides more of a thermal barrier to the piston and fluid. |

When you say "intermediate", do you mean driving skill or track rating? I will be using the pads at Pocono Raceway (SE Course). I did an event there in HPDE 1, and will only move up to HPDE 2 if there are fewer cars on the track in that particular run group. Thanks |

I don't know that track and just how hard it is on brakes. The Stoptech Street Performance pads are better than stock. Are they enough for you on this particular track? I can't really say. |

I used those sports pads on car for 2 track meets, one turn 1 being a downhill right hander, so very heavy in the pads. Those pads held up great, I remember the Marshall smilling as I pulled in saying no damage to the pads and they sound and look like they were doing a great job.
So yeah depending on how the track is, id recommend them for beginner/intermediate track sessions. Lol actually not sure I can recommend them for intermediate sessions, as I am only a beginner myself. Lol
