My brakes are shot. The drag strips followed by U turns of Eagle's Canyon did them in. The Hawk HP Plus pads have crumbled, and the rotors need to be turned or replaced. I would like to use the opportunity to increase the heat capacity of the system as much as possible without stepping all the way up to a BBK. I want the stopping power to be very good while working in concert with ABS, so I don't want too much bite.
The car is used for about 6 track days per year, weekend cruising, and a trip to work and back here and there when the weather is nice. So, low dust and noise are desirable traits.
After some research, options seem to be:
Stoptech Sport Kit $570
EBC Stage 5 Kit $616
Power Stop Z26 Kit $321
Short of a kit, I can buy pads and rotors separately. In addition to the pads included above, I am thinking of:
Carbotech XP8
Hawk Street/Race
There are a lot of options for rotors, and most claim to be made to OEM specs, so it may not matter which ones I buy. Or it may make more sense to just have mine turned. I don't really care about slots and drilling.
Hawk Quiet Slot
Carbotech
Centric
etc.
So... What do you guys have experience with, and what do you recommend for my purposes? Do the kits above really have the potential (specifically the rotors) for better heat distribution? Why do I tend to doubt that?
