Brake pad upgrade options?

[rorrerjp]

Are there any brake pad upgrade options available yet for the brembos? I notice after only 3 autocross laps mine are heavily faded already. Looking for something from Hawk if possible.

The factory are generally considered very good for the track. There was a thread here a week or so ago regarding pads for the street that don’t make so damn much brake dust and a couple were mentioned, ceramic iirc. Comments including saving the factory pads for the track. I have no first hand knowledge but was only interested because I hate the brake dust and plan to pick up a full set of the ceramic if I can find the thread that had the rock auto part numbers.
some one Far more knowledgeable than I will be along shortly to provide a better answer to your question I’m confident.

Although I haven't tracked mine yet, after 18 months and 18k miles of somewhat spirited driving, the brake pad break-in procedure in the manual is useful and seems to help with pad performance and life. I had planned a proper pad bedding before I got the car and once I read thru the manual, including the pre-tracking info for the Mach 1, I spent the first hour of my life with the car in a parking lot near the dealer just bedding brakes. After 18k miles, it seems to have been worth the time.

Have you changed/flushed the brake fluid, especially after 15k miles if you are tracking it. From the Mach 1 owners manual supplement...
