Thinking about tracking my 2017 T/A 392. What's a good track day pad? I have a 2012 Boss 302 Laguna that I track & use Hawk HP+ pads but I don't think they make those ones for the Challenger. Any good recommendations?
When I spoke to Powerstop on the phone, one of their engineers answered a bunch of questions for me about the composition of their pads. One of the things he told me was that the Z26 and the Z23 had the same exact composition. As we all know, the Z23 is made for street applications with the focus on less wear on the disks and eliminating the dust problem. He told me these pads are not formulated for the track or aggressive braking.I tried the Powerstop Z26's and they were terrible on the track. Have heard good things about the Track Day pads though. Next went with Hawk SP and really like them but my fronts squeal like a banshee which is driving me nuts. My latest attempt will be Akebono's so we'll see.
I respectfully disagree with you on stock pads for autocross....throw a set of carbotechs on and you'll see what I mean.The stock Brembo pads rock for long tracks or autocross (not sure if you have Brembos). Z26 suck and fade in a few minutes. The Track Day pads are supposed to be great, but the break in procedure is not easy. It's ten 60 to 10 aggressive stops, then ten 80 to 10 stops. So mine are still sitting on the shelf. You might be able to get them broke-in already.
Of our vendorsOk...so does anyone know if anyone has a set of the Power Stop Track Day pads PST-1405 available?? I even called Power Stop themselves & they're out of stock until the end of June! Anyone anywhere??

CARiD, High Horse Performance, a quick Google of Power Stop Track Day pads PST-1405 found several places

Ahh, apologize, they all showed them as in stockI had already called them & they're out of stock as well until the end of June. Thanks though.
Same here. Tried to track the power stop Z26's. Horrible! Rotors cracked. No bite from pads! I'd heard Bondurant runs power stop on their Hellcats. I won't run them again. Ran Hawk pads last weekend, vast improvement, and better thant the EBC blue pads I'd run before.I tried the Powerstop Z26's and they were terrible on the track.

I ran Carbotech at NCM last year and had no problems. Great stopping power.Same here. Tried to track the power stop Z26's. Horrible! Rotors cracked. No bite from pads!
