Th3Franz Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Tirerack sells them. They seem comparable to HPS in peformance and comfort based off their compound and specs. Worth a shot I'd say but I have not experienced them first-hand -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Island Legacy Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Anyone run these? I need to replace my HPS pads. Jim,I just put Carbotech AX6's on and Bobcats in the rear and they are much better then my hps which I just took off and was not impressed at all, not enough bite and fade resistance for my taste, so i went back to carbotechs IMO try carbotech, I would love to show you the improvement in my car if you would like a demo.

jim1969 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 cool. Let's meet up. How are the AX6 noise wise? Why not bobcats all around? I can show you how the vf52 feels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good you have PM. I wanted something more then the bobcats up front and I can deal with a comprise pad which the AX6 is. It a streetable track pad pretty much with a broad temp range that does not need to heat up to have bite, that why they call it a auto-x pad cause it works well at low temps. And since the bobcat is a little better then the HPS so ive read i wanted something more aggrerssive. Having previosuly ran the AX6's but on stock oem non turned rotors I was impressed and they even better with fresh Brakeswap Slotted Blanks.

Th3Franz Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 sounds like AX6 is comparable to Hawk HP+. Both streetable track pads. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fzanetti Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 sounds like AX6 is comparable to Hawk HP+. Both streetable track pads. How's the dust and noise level on those? Anyone can comment on those, I am also shopping for 80% street 20% autox/track pads... But as noise may be an issue i am still debating and researching...

Th3Franz Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 No experience with AX6 but the HP+ get a little noisy when they get heat into them. Some squealing on the street but it's not terrible. Dust a fair amount too. Nowhere near as bad as running Carbotech XP8 track pads on the street like I'm doing right now. But the initial bite is fun. HP+ are great for autox because they don't need much heat to perform well and they have higher initial bite than most other streetable pads. Pick 2: Low Noise, Low Dust, High Initial Bite, Highly Fade Resistant -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
