winmax is the factory in Japan make OEM racing pads for Mugen and TRD.....

but i need them for track.. i dont want them to cook on me ..

the last thing i would need on a race track is for me to come up to a corner and woopsies go into the gravel pit.

coz i cooked the standard honda pads so easily... >.<

ok then you looking at a pad with a higher operating temp...

Project Mu titan kai - 0-750deg ( i think this is correct, try and cook those babies, it ain't gonna happen).

What calipers you running? larger? Aftermarket? Stock?

yeah i just have a heavy right foot on braking... i dunno if i need that hight op temp coz i dont wanna go carbon metal pad.... coz it will reduce the life of my discs >.<

Ferodo DS2500, been using the same pad for ages and will probably use the same again. Read the thread Milkman posted, lots of good info there.

Dude.... any increase in braking performance through the use of pads is gonna make your rotors have increased wear reguardless.

I just don't understand why people want an increase in braking performance and abuse the brakes on a race track but still want OEM longevity that you get with just a street driven car.

It ain't gonna happen.

basics are sometimes lost... cos "JDM" also means Japanese Domestic MAGIC in japanese.

Braking is not a cheap "sport", tracking is an even MORE expensive sport... so make sure you don't cut corners, cos your car might come up worse for wear.

i wish it did tho >.<

but yeah like i dont want pads that are too harsh... is all im saying. i gotta replace my discs sooner or lata but just not every year thats all.
