Got a question for all the road racers out there (if there are any). What pads do you use? Here's the materials I've used on the stock brakes: Carbotech Panther, Hawk HT8, and KFP Gold. The Hawk HT8 was the best. With the NX2000 brakes, so far I've only used EBC Redstuff. It sucked.
So, I know Hawk Blue is the ticket. But Hawk doesn't make any pads for the SE-R or NX2000. Carbotech will make a set of pads with Hawk material, but they glue and rivit the material to the backing plate (which I hate!). Porterfield will make beutiful pads out of Hawk material, and also will charge me a King's ransom for them. Is there any other company out there that I've never heard of that makes good track pads? Or, have you found anyone to make some pads from Hawk Blue material that won't charge a bazillion dollars?
Thanks,
Matt
