Need help finding performance brake pads for my brakes...




Anyone know the best pads to get with my Baer "Track" system? I know they take a particular type of pad (pads for a stock F-body will NOT work). If I am thinking correctly, I think I was told pads for a 93-95 Corvette would work. The pads that come from Baer are expensive, and I'm not convinced they are the best. Anyone know what good performance pads such as "HAWK" will work on my system?

There was some talk about the NAPA Ceramix pads some time ago being a good choise for the street. Low dust, high initial friction, long wear. The Baer pads I got dust badly but there is still plenty of life left.

I pretty much had similar results. I am trying to find some pads that are better. Anyone know of any?

According to Baer, any pads that fit 88-96 Corvettes and 94 and up Mustang Cobras will fit their Baer Track System.

Axxis/PBR Metal Master. On my d/d there is low dust and great performance. Plus since they're carbon metallic they won't be hard on the rotors like a ceramic pad will be.

Ceramic pads are harder and will eat your rotors. It's a friction situation, you either sacrifice pad material or your expensive rotors.

So basically I can just find a great performance pad such as the Hawk pads, and get them for those years of Corvette's?

What are some other good brake pads to get performance wise?
