Track hrs for BBK pads
I am about to do a cost benefit analysis of a BBK for HPDEs and thought a thread like this would be useful. So for those with a BBK post up the following:
-Kit -Pad type front and cost -estimated hrs of track time -brake ducts (yes/no) -rear brake kit - pad type rear and cost -hrs on rear pads -estimated street driven miles |
The caveat is this is all from memory and my memory is suspect due to the sleep deprivation of a new baby.
-Kit StopTech ST-40 -Pad type front and cost -estimated hrs of track time Cobalt XR-2, $349, 30 hrs Carbotech XP10, $205, TBD -brake ducts (yes/no) no -rear brake kit URGE Flow - pad type rear and cost -hrs on rear pads Cobalt XR-3 $180, 15 hrs Carbotech XP8 $162, 36 hrs -estimated street driven miles 500? |
I believe the general consensus is that a BBK will eventually pay for itself. I went from going through DTC60s every other weekend before my BBK and I currently have 4 weekends on the same set of DTC60s with my BBK.

No need for cost analysis lol...BBK saves money if you track a lot...I don't know how many hours I get out of pads because it varies based on which track but I used to get 2-4 days on stock calibers and now it is 15-25 conservatively (this is with racing and not hpde btw).

Does the Urge rear brake upgrade make a significant difference by itself?

it is odd, that your getting such long rear pad life. I have the G-Loc R-8 on the rear and I bet I wouldn't get more than 12hrs. Is it due to the BBK taking that much more of the braking load as well?

How often are you guys replacing rotor rings? That is a decent cost regardless what kit you choose.

I keep thinking "after this next day, I'm replacing my front rings". I still haven't yet... I'm probably at 40 hrs of track time on the ST-40 rings, many many autox runs, and a few thousand street miles too. I've had micro cracks for awhile now, but no fissures.
