Best endurance pads?
Discussion
A friend and I bought EBC Yellowstuff pads for our Suzuki Swift Sport track car.
Given that the car weighs less than 1,000KG, and Yellowstuff being quality pads we expected to get 5 or 6 track days out of them, however, our second track day came to an abrupt end earlier in the week as we'd completely exhausted our front pads after just 320 track miles - around 290 laps of Brands Hatch Indy Circuit.
While I appreciate the extra toll the brakes take on the track, I did expect more out of them, especially as when I was racing, a set of pads would last most of a season and that was with testing and track days as well as actual races.
I'm looking at Ferodo DS1.11 Brake Pads at the moment but thought I'd check here to see what everyone else would recommend?
I guess paying more for endurance pads is the way to go.
