dixcel brake pads?

How about a rotor upgrade and decent brake fluid, good brake fluid is always overlooked.

edit: If you are tracking every 6 weeks, which is quite a bit, I'm sure a full brake kit would be awesome.

May not relate to the MX, but when i raced my Turbo Mini I found the Green Stuff pads and a good fluid were a great combo ...

Green stuff seemed not to wear the rotor at all (good english ones, not chinese), and remember these were solid unventilated, undrilled discs ...

very little warm-up, great stopping and no dust .... a little expensive though ....

My $0.002

Image C2s (i think thats what they're called) from Japan? Drift King Keiichi uses them

EBC green is sh*t imo, eat stock rotors for dinner.

Try Dixcel brake pads, they are a brand of AP racing.

Hawk blues - tried and tested on the track

has anyone tried QFM pads?

I used them on a S4 turbo RX-7 a few years back and they did a good job on the track... though I probably wasn't braking so close to the limit then.

Did you look at any of the pads 949racing have on offer? The Miata.net guys swear by them.

what grade where they - was the a1rm 780 degree ones? I am also very interested in these. they have some really good reviews on skylines australia. if they can pull up those big chunks they should go alright on a 5.

Sorry, I don't think I have the box any more. I'll have a look though.
