1st gen RX-7 brake pad selection

Thanks for the input guys! I'll give the XP-10s a try up front but, alas, I am stuck with a drum brake rear for the time being. I will use the 913 compound on those. (Just haven't found a disk braked rear for a reasonable price!!!!!)

Blues ate my rotors. Carbos crack them. I probably replace more rotors with the carbotechs. I have an airdam, with ducts and the $$ Mazda hats. Performance is to my liking.

Thanks Jake! I am going to give the Carbotechs a try. Surely can't be worse than those Blues eating up the rotors like they do. We're running the Mazda ducts as well.

For what it's worth...

I run the carbotechs and used to run the Hawks.

Hawks ate my rotors, I can go two seasons (10-12 weekends) on a set of Carbotech pads and rotors. Although my home track is Nelson and I only touch the brakes three times in 2 miles so your mileage may differ.

I did notice on the switch from Hawk to Carbotech it required more pressure to stop but they never have faded on me.
