subtle_driver Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 So my 240z has 79 280zx master cylinder, 4-piston calipers with z31 vented rotors up front with perfomance friction pads, and rear has 240sx calipers with akebono pro-act pads and z31 rotors. My problem is the front brakes lock up too easily and I can't stop well at autocross. Has anyone tried a more aggressive autox hawk pad in the rear to help with balancing and have more friction and grab in the rear? Any experience with this? I also saw a mustang kit from silver mine motors. but these won't clear my 14" rally rims. What do you think about trying the pads, or is that a waste of time? Thanks!

RebekahsZ Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Send a pm to duragg. He has experimented with mixing pads for road racing with a similar setup. Stay away from Hawk HPS-I was very unhappy with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duragg Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I used HT10 in rear if I recall. Deleted stock prop valve and added Wilwood prop valve. Gave me ability to have too much or too little rear even running R6 on 15x10s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
