Track pad discussion. Options

[njccmd2002]

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...

As I'm nearing my first track day (in the Supra though, not the Celica) I'm finding that 1.) track pads are giving me sticker shock, 2.) dual duty pads like the EBC Yellow Stuff will NOT do the job, and 3.) for me it will only be Carbotech XP10 or Porterfield R4. Expensive, yes, but I'm depending on these pads to stop me time after time after time, and I don't want to be questioning whether or not pads like the Hawk HP+ or Yellow Stuff will be able bring me from 140-50 one more time.

Granted, I will be in a 3,400 lb car that has much bigger brakes than a Celica (except those with the GT4 calipers,) and it has factory brake cooling, and I'll be doing a road race instead of autocross so I'll have some speed built up in several sections, but from the research I've done, the Porterfield R4's or Carbotech XP10's are my only options.

Again, small disclaimer, this is just what I've found will best suit my needs. Carbotech pads are a bit cheaper for my application.
