On Cobalt website, they have only XTR and XR-Series, and the distributor I called told VR is actully discountinued already. So XTR is the VR replacement? even better?

 

HT-10's are loud as hell and it's cool

I got HT-10's front and blues on the rear, Only did 1 track day so far with the HT10's but it felt like the hotter they got the better they were to a point of eyeball ripping braking.

 

Anybody used axxis ultimates on the track? I use them on the street, they're good, they make some noise but not bad at all, they dust a ton, I have slotted rotors so that just adds to the dusting. They pretty much ruined my factory wheels, they have black specs all over the flat part of the lip, I dont care about the oem rims anywho. I've come from 100-0 a couple times and there was no fade or anything so I think they're pretty good, just wanted a roadrace opinion.

 

I'v had ultimates on my car running HPDE2, brand new set could only use for 2 days event(or maybe just 1 day), wear and overheat too fast.

Best street pads though

 

maybe I'll try the HT 10's next

 

bump for the Q, didnt wanna hijack ur thread hehe.

 

I find the Cobalt's bite too hard and make driving smoothly difficult. I'm looking for something less grippy. Cobalts are certainly the best for a hard bite and shortest stopping distance but they may not be the fastest around the track. My instructor at my racing school last weekend was giving me a hard time about how hard I was braking and how I wasn't being smooth on the brake. I told him I'm barely touching the pedal. He took out the car for a few laps and got off my back not doing any better than me. I suspect Cobalts would do better on a 3000lb car. I didn't have this sort of problem when my car was 2900lbs. Now at 2400lbs they snag too hard.

That's just me and my car however, like I said they were fine when it was a tracked street car. I might try the HT-10's on the front and the blue's on the rear. I can't readily get Cobalts in Canada.

 

Any of you guys tried Porterfield??? My friend used have porterfield on his car, and he loves them a lot. But although he s got fully loaded G35 with more than 3600lb, not sure if they work good on S.

 

Porterfields are filthy and the pad material crumbles. Not as good as others mentioned here.

 

I had the same experience with them. I threw them away after one day on the track.
