May be worth a try with hardly anyone in the brembo brake pad business.

Yes they are cheap to purchase but the cost of living in Taiwan is a lot less than North Carolina

So are you saying that the G-LOC GS-1's are made in North Carolina?

Thanks

Yes Sir in Mooresville. Design, Manufacture and Ship from there. It's why when we order a compound or pad shape we do not have or are sold out of the turn around is fast. They are not making a thousand of one part number to justify the cost to load it in a Container and Ship it across the world by boat. That model is fine and allows a lower cost part due to wages and scale...and environmental but not very flexible.

I have had them build and ship me a set the same day before (they happened to be running that particular compound batch) That is local service :cheers:

Which ones?

Any fellas on the tracks recommend any pads? Mine are coming up on a replacement.

They do have track pads as well....the Track Attack guys like the stock pads.

We have been selling and stocking the G-LOC pads for the Shelby for the last 12 months. They also have the Street Compound so you don't wear out your expensive track pads on the street. The Principals from Carbotech are the ones that started G-LOC.

Reviving the dead here....I got an email from powerstops product manager that their z26 compound front pads are expected to be in production (they already make the rears) in October of this year. And so the wheel cleaning and waiting game continues........

Just to be clear, they do not make a Rear Pad, they use a Corvette pad that happens to fit, but it is thinner, less material. Just gonna throw it back out there, still sell a ton of GS-1 Compound Pads for the GT350'S. 800F temp range, low dust and low noise. They last a long time as well.

How much thinner are we talking?

IIRC it is 1mm so the pistons start out 1mm further on each side of the caliper compared to OEM.

Stupid question, the price for the fronts and rears includes both sides correct ?

Ie GS1 for $ 295 is the complete front , right and left correct.

Yes, front set or rear set is both wheels.

Been running the GS1s for a couple of months now. Been very happy with them. Did a little spontaneous autocross with them and had no problems. The lower amount of dust is definitely appreciated!

Now, the R16s on track - that's a whole 'nother level. BEASTY
