Stoptech BBK
Greetings all, it's been a while since I last posted. Hope you are all well.
I just bought the Stoptech front BBK for my AP2. I haven't installed it yet, but will soon. I just got off the phone with Stoptech technical staff. I asked which pads I should use for track days as my car is a daily driver and I typically swap pads for track days. They told me that the stock pads that come with the BBK are fine for track days. They said that stock GT3's are running their BBK with street pads on the track with good results. Too good to be true? I'd love not having to swap pads. What has been your experience? Thanks!
BTW, Stoptech now makes a race pad called the SR-32.

I run the street pads with ducting. After about 20k miles and 4 track days, i think I still have like 8mm of pad left. So a ton. I did buy a set of Ferodo DS3000 pads which I used one time. I'll sell them to you cheap
I'm heading up Willow Spring on Saturday actually.

Long time no see!
Goodness, that's a lot of track days to have that much pad left. With my stock setup, a set of $200 track pads last about two days. That's why I bought the BBK. I've seen the Stopteck street pads for the BBK as low as $50!
So with ducting the street pads hold up at the track?

just because you can run it doesn't mean you should for optimal track performance.

In a pinch I used the stock stoptech pads. They held up but I wouldn't recommend it. I don't imagine they'd last very long. More importantly, I prefer a track pad with much more bite.
I use the Pagid RS-19 and they're excellent. They seem expensive until you factor in longevity. I have ~25 track days on mine and there's plenty pad material left.
I do have ducting.

Does Pagid make a street pad that's compatible with the RS-19? My car's a daily driver as well as weekend track toy. Thanks!

Did the stock pads require a lot more leg muscle relative to the DS3000's?

And yep, the pagids last a heck of a long time. I was trying my hardest to kill them just so I could change it up and experiment with a different pad hah
