Those of you guys running s13's with q45 brakes up front, what pads are you running for track duty? Where did you get them? I am having a difficult time finding quality racing pads for the q45.

hawks. get them from assaultech for the cheapest price. Mention "vas" for a discount.

For track duty I wouldn't run HPS, at least get Hawk HP Plus or higher, if Carbotech makes pads for the Q45 they're an excellent pad also the Carbotech XP8 is a good entry level track pad.

Dont believe they make HP Plus for our Q45 calipers

I have Carbotech pads with Q45 calipers. I run the XP10 on front, XP8 on rear with Z32 calipers. Carbotech will make pads for anything. Call their tech and talk with them about your set up, and what you expect from the brakes.

I had Endless SSS pads in mine. They were pretty fantastic. I never tracked it, but I drove the shit out of the car in the mountains on a regular basis.

how do you guys like your q45 brakes?
big difference compared to stock?

soreballz · 08-26-2011, 08:23 PM

^Yes. Then again, I went straight from old stock brakes with stock pads, lines, and shitty old fluid to q45 fronts brakes with the Endless pads, RBF600 fluid, and SS lines all around, so for me, the difference was night and day.
Many of the track guys will say stock brakes with good pads, good fluid, and SS lines is more than enough, unless you're running high speed road courses with a lot of power.
