Product Details

Track Day Spec Advanced Brake Pads by PowerStop®. Drivers who participate in “Track-Days” or “High Performance Driving Events (HPDE)” rely on their brakes and know the value of having the right brake pads. The PowerStop R&D team have spent countless hours formulating friction compounds that are matched to each individual vehicle platform, this means you spend more time on the track and less time trying to find the ideal brake pad setup for your vehicle. PowerStop’s platform-specific friction compounds offer a very high coefficient of friction and resist fading even at the highest temperatures thanks to its Carbon-Fiber/Metallic formulation.

Features

Carbon-Fiber/Metallic formulation

Engineered to work with PowerStop rotors for Maximum Performance
Sold as a set for two wheels

The braking components in Track Day kits are tested on the track, this is not a re-purposed street compound. PowerStop test vehicles are equipped with a sophisticated data logging system & spends hundreds of test hours on a real track. Advanced friction compound was tuned using an AIM EVO4 data-logger monitoring brake pressures, rotor temperatures, and velocity changes via wheel speed, GPS, and 3-axis accelerometers. The 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 served as the ideal vehicle to develop our platform-specific braking system suited for both track days as well as the drive home.

Founded in 1997 in Southern California, PowerStop® began with the goal of bringing the benefits of superior brake components at a reasonable cost to street performance and backyard performance enthusiasts everywhere. Company management and engineers believed then, as they do today, that better brakes make driving more enjoyable and safer for any vehicle, terrain, and driving style – not just street performance. They developed a philosophy that while brake components cannot be superior without the most advanced materials, they also cannot perform in a superior fashion without matching the exact tolerances of each and every individual vehicle they are created for. Relentless development and testing led to brake pads, rotors, drum shoes, and other related components that delivered uncompromising fit and operation, and PowerStop’s customer base grew exponentially from positive word of mouth. The company still has its original passion for creating the best products at the best possible prices, so when it comes to replacement brake components for your vehicle, PowerStop is the only name you need to know.

Could Not Stop the Squealing

Power Stop® - Track Day Spec Advanced Brake Pads

I had these professionally installed and I followed the manufacturers break in procedure multiple times. The squealing was intolerable. I took it back to the shop and they followed the manufacturers troubleshooting advice. Still squealing. I then took it to another shop thinking maybe that was the problem. Still could not stop all the noise. I eventually had them replaced with organic brake pads. So I spent a lot of money on these pads and mechanic services and am left with some 3 week old pads in a box in my garage. I would not recommend these to others. There were no reviews on this product when I bought them, and I rarely write them, so I thought I should help others out with this one. I had one friend tell me that all high performance metallic brakes make noise like this. Maybe so, but I could not tolerate it or solve it with these pads.
