Loud brakes save lives. I do not recommend adding anything to track pads.
Yep, part of the game with race pads. Plus from the extreme heat, whatever is added to the back to the pad can contaminate the other brake components... Speaking from experience...
 
Not really, anti-squeal is very different from (anti-seize), which is something you utilized on your brakes. Never use anti-seize on any brake components. Anti-seize contains graphite, which is a powdered metal lubricant. Once it melts at around 500 degrees F it's spreads like a thick film, causing severely diminished braking capability and contamination of metal surfaces.

Anti-squeal contains an elastomeric polymer, that doesn't cause any issues for the pads or interfere with braking capability, as it's applied to the back of the pad.

There are anti-squeal shims that can be utilized as well, to diminish brake squeal.

learned that the hard way lol.
 
I'm sorry you had to actually. 😟

Make sure you clean everything off with brake cleaner and buy a brake hone and scuff off the rotor surfaces. It's really important, especially to remove any residual graphite. Just stick it on a drill and scuff the entire surface back and front. You regain your braking power, honing them often. It's gets rid of glaze frothe pad as well.

Also on the FMIC pipes; prep them beforehand by utilizing two hose clamps. I'm kind of at a loss as to why they don't require safety wiring such parts. We have to in all motorcycle track venues. Last thing; Use brake line covers from DEI. They'll preclude any chaffing or issues from heat. they got a lot of heat shielding products that helps keep heat soak down in the engine compartment.
 
A brake hone does wonders for rotor refurbishing between pad changes but these are a little beyond that. However, buy one anyway and keep it your tool box.

You can take these rotors to a Pep Boys and have all four turned for $15 to $25 to see how deep the cracking or crazing is and if they're salvageable. If there's enough left, you'll be able to get more use from them and increasing braking performance all the way around in the process.
 
Currently using EBC Yellowstuff pads. US vendors are starting to list them on their websites but no one in the US stocks them yet. Had to order mine from a UK vendor that is able to ship to the US but even they don't stock them. Once they get them in stock, they are gone immediately. Had to place an order and waited 2 months to get them but for $220 shipped for front and rear pads, it was worth the wait.

EBC Yellowstuff is more of a proper replacement to the OEM pads since OEM has some very scary rain performance. Like how OEM pads stick in the rear when wet and ebrake left up overnight. Or if you're cruising on the freeway in the rain and haven't used your brakes in 5-10 min but when you finally do, it doesn't stop the car immediately. The EBC Yellowstuff doesn't have these oddities that the OEM pads do so they are a lot safer and can handle more abuse (like track) before they start to fade whereas the OEM can start to fade on small go-kart tracks.

Here's where I ordered them.

The current cost with shipping is £182.25, which translates to $236 USD. They are affordable and way better than OEM. Please don't expect G-LOC or Pagid performance out of them though because that's not the point of these pads.
you got these for front and rears? :

Yeah, those are the ones I got. But if you're going to order them, get them from a North American seller that has them in stock. That way, you get them faster than from the UK. I ordered them from the UK months ago only because no one else in the US stocked them yet and I needed pads ASAP.

yea it is pretty scary in the rain, now when it's raining and I'm driving on the highway I have to go to the slow lane usually and test out my brakes to see how they engage, because if I'm on the highway for a while and it's raining AND I haven't braked in a while and when it comes time for me to come to a stop for whatever reason, when stepping on the brake to engage it about 20-30% it feels like nothing is happening, I really got to step on it like 70-80% and even then the brakes will gradually start to engage to it's suppose braking force with that 70-80% engagement. Hope that made sense.
Oh and also on top of that I'm on Continental extreme sport plus all seasons that are rated very well for wet conditions.

Thanks for sharing, I will try these pads out.
 
Yes, if you wish to utilize this compound. There are 3 compounds available; Yellow, Red and Green. Prices vary depending upon compound.

Genracer says they fit, but all other websites say they DO NOT fit (DP32343C and DP32344C). Does anyone have the proper part #'s for the EBC Redstuff - that is a known fit for the Veloster N Performance Package? Thanks.
 
EBC has even better-looking Bluestuff compound now, but I can't find a fit for the N anywhere. It seems like finding performance pads is an issue for the stock caliper sizing -- anyone have any good experience with just upgrading to a more standard-size caliper?
