Need some info about brake pads

[6UE5t]

Usually hard pads, indicates that the bite is good or bad? harder pads also not so friendly on the rotor right?

Hmm normally choose between types not about hard or soft coz not sure how you get the info if a pad is hard or soft. if types then it will be in the specification: semi metallic, ceramic, or organic.

Buy according to your priorities. What heat range you need the pads to work to?
I have friends who use up to 450c then have another set up to 800c for track play, so he puts them in when go track then takes them out after the track play....

Nowadays no more organic pads, ceramic mostly for entry level, semi metallic mid level but for daily drive is top range already. Different material withstand difference heat level.....

Organic is still available, for entry level-mid range performance level but not suitable for high performance. My previous pads, the Project Mu 400c, was organic type.

Ceramic can also be available for high performance ones, not just entry level. For example Endless CCR type is for high performance, then you also got Bendix CT or Advics OEM ceramic pads which is for entry-mid level. I never used this type yet but based on what I read it's supposed to be very low dust and quiet, but cold bite might not be as good.

Semi metallic can be from std level performance to high performance pads but more dusty and supposedly more noise. For example are the Bendix MKT and my current Project Mu 500c.

Sorry, what I suppose to say is no more asbestos for organic brake pads.
As for Ceramic is the compound mixture as CCR is Ceramic, Carbon and Metallic mixture so the main high performance probably from Carbon

NO track, Trestor Advantage can dy.....hhahhahahaha

Yeap hahahah pair with slotted disc, settle close case haha

Yup, no need overdo. If track, then second set brake pads and tyres......lol

 

[6UE5t]

Sorry that Trestor Advantage is actually how many degrees C ya?

Tracked my car with trestor. Well let's just say my car isn't that fast so trestor is still sufficient HAHA

Bro. Izso track them too, but was much better with slotted rotors......

Not sure, but could be same or slightly higher than those bendix semi metallic.....

Recently I bought this Trestor Metallic Plus for my Proton. Quite cheap, RM74.20 inc. GST for the fronts. Haven't got time to install it yet. I use Trestor Advantage for the other car. Since the Proton is a family car, I figured this should be sufficient. My wheels would be cleaner too.

Yah! this should be slightly cleaner than Advantage pads......

Hi,

Since talking about pads; just wanting to get a second/third opinion. Suggested to me for track is project U. Appreciate anyone could advice further.

Thanks.
