Brake pads R1 Concepts or Project Mu
i went with R1 concept as well as brakes pads. Night and day difference.
I ran R1 concepts for my tc2 for over four years. An improvement over stock’s brake fading prone design. Not badly priced too
Depends what you're after. If just street with some spirited driving, smething like pmu hc+ or ns400 works. I do track work and used to run hc800s, but got hc+ thinking they are the same. Only 600c rated instead. But, good cold performance, and extra good performance hot. So, they don't wear out super quickly while daily driving. Got quite a lot of track days and driving out of my original hc800s with t3 rotors. But, they are harder to find. Need to get the shape from pmus website, and then find somebody that stocks them. Rhd japan may do
I really liked Project Mu Club Racers as a "streetable-ish" track pad. They were fairly tolerable on the street as long as they were bedded in. They occasionally squeal when coming to a stop once below 15mph.
I've had really good luck after swapping to R1 Concepts pads and rotors on my Taos. no brake dust and predictable stopping.
Higher-temp and higher-mu pads (Project Mu HC+R3) + braided brake lines + DOT 4 fluid for me. Slotted fronts, blank rears.
I just switched to R1 concepts Geomet pads, and drilled and slotted rotors. They're just as good as OEM from what I can tell.
R1 Concepts Track Pads. I used them for my daily and occasional track. I am too lazy to swap the pads. Hella dusty tho.
I found Project Mu Club Racers to be decently streetable for a track pad. They do squeal a bit at less than 25 but are tolerable as long as they’re bedded in and you’re giving a decent amount of threshold pressure.
I originally had r1 concepts rotors and pads but the pads started to squeak like crazy at slow speeds. Rotors were still good so I put on akebono pads and they are perfect.
