Brake Pads for CS Miata ?

[Mako Koiwai]

Should we have something "stronger" then Hawk HP+'s up front with Karen's CS Miata running 225 710's? Tim says No.

If her car has ABS use the HP+, if she does not use stock.

[Mako Koiwai]

Yes, ABS and HP+'s ordered.

What's this about using different pads front/rear to change bias. Does that really matter with ABS?

[Bob Beamesderfer]

Porterfield R4S. Tim Aro really liked them in my non-ABS car.

[Mako Koiwai]

Yeah, but we have ABS ...

[Bob Beamesderfer]

Yeah, but we have ABS ...

So what? It's still a very good compound and easy to modulate. Unless you plan on engaging the ABS every time you step on the pedal it's how the pad behaves out of the ABS that matters.

[Mako Koiwai]

OK, but the HP+'s are already ordered and I need to convince Karen I did the right thing when she reads this! ;)

Luckily Isley has a LOT of credibility as THE Late Brake'r.

[Mako Koiwai]

We had Hawk Blacks on up until now, in front, HP+'s in back ...

But I use stock pads. However, we did put the HP+ on our 10AE because we got some fade with the stockers and two drivers.

So now try the opposite of that.

UH, that ain't legal.

Wasn't my fault ... I was just following the oem Bilsteins ... which some else had assembled BACKWARDS!!!

Struts are off for the rebuild ... with exact measurements from MazdaSpeed on which length springs we should be using!
