Brake pad questions

[luc]

Nobody mentioned/asked if the op turn the stability control off or not when on track
If not, the rear brakes are activated a lot, even when not braking, and the stock rear pads can easily exceed their optimum temperature range
Keep that in mind when choosing a rear pad

Thanks. Thus far I have driven with the car in track mode, which reduces (but does not completely eliminate) stability control nannies. I believe there is a button trick to disable it completely but I have no plans to do so.

I have not noticed accelerated wear on my rear pads, though I don't know how hot they get.

2016 GT performance pack used for HPDE and occasional street driving (500-1000 miles per year).

Intermediate skill level. 200TW tires. Brembo DOT4 fluid. Stock pads lose a little bite near the end of my sessions.

1. At what thickness do you replace the pads?
2. Would G-Loc R10, R12, or R16 front pads make the most sense for how I use the car?
3. Can I keep using stock rear pad replacements or should those be upgraded at the same time?

Thank you.

1. 4mm – 5mm.
2. G-Loc R12 -Perfect match.
3. Buy the R12 front pads with G-Loc R8 rear pads to maintain that balanced brake torque split.
