It's the "howling coyote" badge. I Haven't seen any others. Someone is making them, but I don't know who.

Would you believe these are the same wheels? Crazy what a few hours on the track with proper pads does!

 

Nice :-)

 

Yep, that's the one.

 

Wow! What pads are you using for the track? And how are they holding up?

 

Carbotech XP10 up front (now G-Loc R10, 2 top guys from Carbotech started a new company using the same compound) and XP8 in the rear.

Fronts have been used to get me to and from the road course, and for track weekends only. I get ~6 days out of a front set.

Rears I've been wearing year round. I had 40% left after 3 track days and 8000 street miles.

Overall I love the pads. Great stopping power, no fade and good wear rate for a near-race pad.

 

Very nice! And your still on the stock rotors? How are they doing? I'm asking because I'll be needing some new pads in a few months. I'll probably go with the Hawk HPS, because I'm still not tracking my car yet.

 

I just swapped rotors to Centric blanks. Cryo treated on the front. The Brembos did great. But after 3 years, 18k miles and 7 track days they were starting to show some cracking. Now they are my backup set.

Shiny!

 

Looks like you had fun at the track!

 

Interesting. Never heard of that.

 

Thanks for the compliments on the night shot. Still kicking myself for being lazy and using digital zoom instead of just getting closer. You can tell it's pretty grainy/low resolution

 

Sorry for the delay. On a sunny day you will have to use a high shutter speed, between f/4-F5.6 aperture and a low ISO setting, between 100-400. If it is really bright out you might need a ND or a circular polarizing filter.

 

I know lots of guys seem to like HPS pads, but I have them on my non-raced car, and they squeal like mad at anything more than about 1/3 of the way down on the brake pedal and it gets worse the more humid/hotter it is outside. Getting rid of them ASAP.

 

Kyle... that's good to know. Those are the Hawk ones, correct?

I am curious - because when it comes time to replace my brake pads and/or rotors, perhaps my best bet is to go with OEM? They're quiet and stop the car just fine.

 

thanks Ben, i'll experiment this week. My first show of the season is on sunday.

 

Unless you're going to track it, I say yes. I'm going back to OEM soon. They lasted me 80k miles and never made a peep.

 

I'm new guy here but. Here's my stang

 

Thanks for sharing your experiences with the Hawk HPS pads. My OEM Brembo pads have always squeaked, and still do when just cruising the streets. I'm at about 34k mi now, and could get another 30k out of em, but I'm looking for a better pad. We're a little off topic in this picture thread. So.....
