GT PP Brake Pad Options

[ridenfish39]

Hey guys I carry Ferodo DS2500(street/light track) and Ferodo DS1.11 (track only).

PM me for pricing.

I've been running the DS2500 for a month now and they are silent on the street but bite very hard!

How much dust do they kick out? I'm tired of cleaning my wheels every other day as well. I have new wheels coming in and I'd love to change the pads before I have them installed. I don't want the corrosive dust etching into them....

^^^ We need carbotech bobcat pads to solve the dust issue.

There are also pads that fit, but are actually smaller than the OEM Brembos pads. This leaves some of the brake disc unused. I want to replace it with the proper size pad, not a "close" replacement.

As of 30 April 2015, Carbotech claims to have front pads (with pricing) for the EBPP and the GT non-PP. Still no listings for GTPP or any rear pads :( .

I was actually the one who sent them pads to get backing plates made.

This set above is the first set they made.

They are ok, I can tell you for a fact the dust comes off much easier than the OEM pads.

At the end of the day it's usually a trade off. Low dust typically means lower braking performance and vice versa.

Yes, these pads I carry are meant for the 2015 Mustang only. The other pads which are meant for the GTR and GT500 miss 5mm of swept area.

You have ceramic pads that fit the GT PP perfectly then?

I have done my share of NASA and HPDE days, as well as Solo enough to win several central FL district championships. I have tried a lot of pads. And I prefer ceramics for daily use.

Please don't give people the impression that running a race pad, that is absolute crap without a significant amount of temperature in it, is a step in the "good" direction. Otherwise you will have people pulling out of their garages, running up to speed and suddenly needing to panic stop, only to find that cold performance pads are not much better than no brakes at all.

A lot of OEMs use ceramic pads, for durability, low noise, and low dusting. Pretty sure they aren't risking their customers just to avoid complaints about brake dust.

^This. Don't mind Norm. I have taken notice to the fact he really likes to debate everything here.

Careful on getting the trollers saying "you'd want the extra grip from OEMs vs ceramic". I have found only a few intelligent folks in this forum, sad to say.

Feel free to ignore experience-based opinions and thought-out explanations and learn some of this stuff on your own time and your own dime . . .

FWIW, with all the whining here and elsewhere about brake dust, it comes off that the so-called enthusiasts of today are more attuned to appearance than to actual performance, and that on this topic it's OK to give away some braking performance for appearance sake. I doubt I'll ever understand that being the "better" position to take.

^^^ You no longer have to decide between looks and performance. You can have it both ways.

 

[Norm Peterson]

It'll take more than saying so to make it so. Hell, I'd be interested if there was such a pad (and it wasn't going to cost me a $10k carbon-ceramic conversion).

Keep in mind that OP is/was looking for something at least mildly "trackable", so ceramics on the order of Hawk's so-called Performance Ceramics just aren't going to cut it. Let alone anything aimed at customers with even lower performance demands.

You want a race pad for race tracks. Plain and simple.

For the street you can get carbotech bobcat pads. Very low dust and at least as good as most performance street pads. Technology has advanced but you have to pay for it.
