Brake Pad Compounds
Discussion
I usually go with Hawk pads (Cambridge Motorsport) and found they transformed braking performance on my old E30 325 track car with Wilwood 4 pots. Well priced too, with minimal brake dust. I wanted them for the M3 but I now run Tarox 6 pot and Hawk weren't available, so now run Ferodo DS2500 instead. They took a little while to bed in but I'm really happy with them so far. I'm yet to do any track work with them though.
I used the performance friction 01 in my e30 320
Not very quick or heavy car but so far I've done 24 15 minute sprint races, 2 30 minute races, plus qualifying for those races, also did a couple of races on them in 2013 and there's another trackday left so they certainly last well
I've got a set of mintex 1166 to try as I picked them up cheap so thought I'd try them, but have a feeling I'll go back to PF

Pagid RS14 or Performance Friction PF0's I'd say.
Re: Performance Friction pads for endurance racing - and this is from direct exerience: PF08's have nearly as much initial bite as 01's - but have a much better modulation and release profile. They also don't wear discs as much as 01's.

I run AP 6 pot and I am using CL RC6 but they do an endurance pad as well RC8 or RC8R. By far the best stopping power I have used. Brummie on here is the main agent. great to do business with.

Carbotech to have some extraordinary high coefficient of friction pad materials.
I have them on my massively undersized brake discs,on my standard Monaro. The only down side is the pads are expensive,and I need new discs every 10/15 thousand miles.They wear away!The discs are very small and cheap!On a sprint car,they would be awesome.
