240sx brake pads

Hawk said they didn't have any plans to make pads with the DTC-60 compound for our cars, but they did put it on a list of car requests that may or may not make the cut for production.

Cobalt recommended XR2 pads for the front and XR3 pads for the rear. The price I got back from them was pretty much $180 per set (either front or rear).

Tristan said he was running the Carbotech XP12 pads both front and rear.

I'm leaning towards the Cobalts. Several people have said they like them and that they last a long time and don't eat rotors. Anything has got to be better than the blues for rotor wear.

Contact the guys at RaceShopper.com. No one was making stuff for my NX2000, so those guys setup a waterjet CNC program with the correct shape and cut out DTC-60 pads for me out of a larger NASCAR pad. There was an initial setup charge but all pads after that were based on quantity ordered...

Man.. I like Raceshopper more and more after hearing stuff like that.

David,
Call Ron at Discovery, I do not remember what I have been paying, but 180 seems high to me. Best part is they last me about 8 races of double duty.

Posting here in case you don't get over to rr-ax. Raceshopper cut a set of front and rear DTC-60 pads for me. It was cheaper than the Cobalts and what I wanted to try in the first place. So if you want to try the DTC-60 pads then give them a call. Interestingly, the mailing label on the box said Porterfield. I don't know if Raceshopper is Porterfield or if Porterfield just cut the pads.

Porterfield is probably the one that cut the pads for Raceshopper- I've seen Porterfield mention custom pads cut from others on their site in the past.
