For those of you that track your car. What pads are u using. I was recommended ebc yellow stuff. But apparently they dont make any for the rears. They only make few toyota rears. Nothing that i think is compatible with the celica.
Planning on using yellow in the front and red in the back. Since the front is the one that makes more difference. Wanted to see what other guys are doing. Even with other cars. Tried to start a decent conversation in the other place. Lol, i would have been better to talk about something else... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

ive started to look into pads a bit as track days are nearing closer.
Carbotechs are expensive as hell! The yellows are advertised as a Track/Street pad. Which is a bit disappointing. I figure (and it shows from a bunch of reviews) that making it a dual duty, it falls short of the performance offered by a dedicated track pad. For a novice who might not be braking too heavily their first couple track days it might do fine. The break in procedure for them is also a bit lengthy --------------------  1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |

For a novice who might not be braking too heavily their first couple track days it might do fine. The break in procedure for them is also a bit lengthy I'd say that's about accurate... As far as EBC Yellow's break-in procedure - I followed it to the t, and the pad still misbehaved (other folks on the track told me I had smoke coming out my wheels in every breaking zone, and it wasn't the tires). A guy on track told me they like to be seriously heated up and left to cool over night (such as after a track session) and then start working correctly. I've found some truth to that (no more smoking with every brake application), but the pad still wore much too quickly in my Camry in my NASA HPDE2 driving - we're talking a set of pads per weekend, and I was hoping for more at ~$100 per axle. Again, just my experience. Should be fine if you're just starting out though. Oh, and I seem to recall them squealing a good bit, so be prepared if you're thinking of keeping these for daily driving. Yea, carbotech is ~ $240.
