Rear Brakes for Track

[mikedahammer]

I searched around but couldn’t find anything regarding rear brakes and was curious what the track folks are running in the rear. If you don’t mind saying what you run in the front I wouldn’t mind knowing that either.

For the last couple of years I have been running the stock pads in the rear as they seem to last just fine and normally for me I go through two to three sets of front pads for each set of rears.

For the fronts I have run four or five different pads and never seem to stick to one pad. Unfortunately, I have not gotten a chance to run the raybestos 43s. I currently have the carbotech xp20s on the front and they have held up well.

I have never considered other options for the rears but now that I need a new set I thought I would get some opinions since I need to refill my inventory.

I used gloc r12 front and rear. Recently replaced the fronts, they were down to about 25% after running almost a year. Rears are well over 50%. Braking balance is very good with them front and rear. Very good cold bite and initial bite.

Based on that I would match your rear compound to the front ones. That also helps shift some braking power tot he rear, which helps with trail braking and reducing understeer.
