Default Autocross Pads

Need some input on what will work best for autocross and a few lapping days. Car is stock 85.5 w 24mm bar on front and 14mm bar on rear, 250lb front springs and KYB's all around. 15X7 Fuchs with toyo 225/15 Toyo® Proxes FZ4 on all four corners.

Front pads are getting thin and its time to replace all.

metal master work fine on the street and autocross. The are also ok for light DE days esp on street tires. KFP magunum golds a little more expensive and pretty good.

I got a set of AXXIS Ultimates that i use on the street and for autoX, I would've loved to get KFPs just they are way to expensive for me. The AXXISes have worked very well for me and i have had no problems with them on the street except for a little squeaking when they are really cold. I have not done any track days or anything with them, but my friend has them on his 325I and has had no problems with them.

I have used Hawk Blue on the front, and Hawk Black on the rear. This is a good combination for street and track - and these pads are gentle on the rotors.....in conjunction with some good brake fluid like Motul 600, Wilwood 600, or AP 551 of course.........

I went with the PBR Metal Masters. They worked very well on the track today. Now I have some ATE Super Blue fluid on the way. One thing I tried out today on the track is No Coasting, that means I'm either accelerating or braking.
