Will need to experiment, then happy to reply. My truck should arrive in 5-10 days. I’ll call the companies I use and see if any have a pad currently.I would be super happy if this is the case. What pads would you recommend for a general high use/abuse but not squealy race pads that don’t work cold?
i may just order that stuff when my truck is inbound as going to swap it very quickly
You mention an additional challenge. Usually the best pads for track and high temp use will squeal. There are a few tricks you can use to reduce the noise, but not eliminate it.
The squeal of high performance brakes is why Porsche has a video and section in the owners manual for new owners to educate them that their high performance brakes will squeal. Most manufacturers just put a quiet, low temp brake pad on as it saves on consumer complaints. But you’ll smoke them with high use. Even BMW.
Race brakes Squeal.
typically four basic categories for brake pads: street, track/street, track use, and race (two sub categories: sprint and endurance) there are many difference in operating temps as well as release characteristics (feel). For 90% of TRX owners the factory pads will be great. For others we will want a pad with a higher operating temp range. The higher the range, probably the more squeal and they will be less effective when cold. Racers get used to warming their brakes. When I drive my track cars on the street, I’ll touch them early to get a little heat in them. I also know I could be screwed if driving to the track, on freeway, and following someone too close. So I make some adjustments.
I will post when I find a pad that works better at higher temps.
If there is a pad supplier on the forum that would be very helpful for all of us!
