    Need good brake pads

    I plan on doing some autocrossing/roadracing next year with the Cobra and want to put some good brake pads on it that can handle alot of heat and little or no fade. I don't want to replace the whole brake system just want the best pads....What do you'll recommend???

    hawk blue compound stop very well, but can be noisy until you get them hot.

    Sounds like fun! I want to get into that myself one of these years. I used to autocross an '85 GT (showin' my age). Best thing to do is to attend a few events as a spectator and ask some of the faster car owners what they run.

    I can agree with asking the faster guys what the run, but attend a couple events as a spectator!?!?

    Yep good advice.

    Also remember that AC tears up tires, brakes, etc so be prepared to pay if you want to be a conehead.

    BTW it's a good option for you since you can't seem to hit the 11's. lol ;)

    No offense bud...but the only way my car will get to the 11's is with me driving it. I just need better tires and a new clutch.
