last guy converted my 89 crx ITA car to disc, but my 90 hatchback (time attack type car, ever changing brake and drivertrain setups) is crazy fast and has whatever the last owner paid Midas to install.
alway felt totally fine

On my old 200sx, I had Carbotech re-line a set of stock shoes with their 912 compound. It cost a bit extra but between the decreased wear and the improved brake modulation I thought it was worth it.

Is the 200SX RWD or FWD?
Oh sorry, should have specified generation. Mine was the 95-98 B-chassis (FWD) 200sx based on the Sentra platform. Not the RWD S-chassis one from the 80s.

Kind of late to this discussion but on my ITB Si I figure new OEM shoes every other logbook.
1985 CRX Si competed in Solo II: AS, CS, DS, GS
1986 CRX Si competed in: SCCA Solo II CSP, SCCA ITA, SCCA ITB, NASA H5
1988 CRX Si competed in ITA & STL

Really? Do you remember if it was the same 912 compound, or if it was a different one?
It's entirely possible that I wasn't braking enough to really use up the pads. It was a long time ago and my driving has come a long way since then.

I'd be lying if I told you I remembered for sure... I went and checked their site to see if I recognized the compound. The "kelated metallic" term definitely rings a bell but that just means it was either the 912 or 913 *or* maybe a discontinued compound?? I think it would have been circa 2007-ish so things could certainly have changed since then though.

Gotcha. That's pretty interesting actually. Makes me want to find a rear drum car to try them on now.
Just for reference, I had those shoes around '09 or '10, right before I switched to the Prelude.
