Just installed a new set of PAGID race pads yesterday. For race pads they don't take as long as usual to heat up. They do squeak a little bit but the bite is outrageous. Dusting is about as bad as the OEM Ferodo's but I can live with it.
These where installed in preperation for a track day. I will give a follow up report on them after tht event.
Price as race pads go are about usual ($200.00). I plan onm using them just for track days so well shall see how much use I get out of them.
Careful not to discolor your calipers with the race pads. Your calipers will face more heat with those pads. Someone just posted pics..
I believe that was you?
You know, I did a track event at the Glen, with Hawk HPS pads. After 10-12 minutes I was flagged off the track. When I turned into pit lane, they told me my right front brakes looked like they were on fire.. I got out and checked. They looked black and dusty, and you felt the heat coming off them. So I asked the guy, "was it glowing? or on fire? He said, we know what glowing is and they tell me it was on fire!
When I thought about it, the brakes were overheating and not stopping the car as fast.
O.K .
Fortunately my calipers remained the same color.
That was my last session.

Aaron,
did you only change the front pads?
Do you have part# for the rear? I assume the front part # is on the box.
Just curious, did you change brake fluid too?
Went to reset ecm on my car after motor work and i get power on both sides of the the ecm fuse what can cause that? Plus my car will not start the fuel pump will not kick on with out jumping the relay to the fuel pump?
Keeps reverting to a non-preset location. usually far down and in, though not always the same position. I've re-programmed the presets, but it doesn't stick. It'll stay until I turn off the car, then it reverts.
I have no idea how to proceed with this. Any ideas?
Just purchased so have no history.
Turn key to on everything lights up (notice the gas gauge reads empty)
Turn further to "start" nothing happens.
Jumper across the starter relay (actually the relay has it's case removed so you can push the contacts closed so the engine turns over)

A couple of weekends ago I partially removed the headliner to allow me to access the sunroof rear drains, one of which I thought was plugged or leaking. To do that, I had to remove the A, B, and C pillar trim pieces. Now, I knew they weren't clean, but man, once I had them out of the car I...
The car seams to hesitate at start. Break pedal pushed down, key fab in the car, door closed not that this makes a difference. I start the car and it gets this hesitant engine turn as if the battery is dying. The computer goes haywire pops the glove compartment door open, then to reset the...
