Front Brake Disk Pad Suggestions

[MPDano]

I am currently running my stock OB Brake Calipers and am looking for some better stopping power in my Brake Pads. Any good suggestions on which ones I should be looking at. I need them non-stock since I will be Autocrossing and need better pads that wont heat up as fast.

I like EBC Yellows. They heat up fast as in quickly get to temp for better braking in street use, but can take the higher heat of autcrossing/track.

I did look them up and they start at the 1980 928 US 4.7. Are the Calipers different in a US 1980 and a Euro 1981? The reason being, I usually try to follow the early US Models (78-79) since they usually interchange with my 1981 Euro.

I stand corrected. I found them for the early 928's too. Part #DP4345R

Around $117 shipped

Same both Front and Rear.

They really need to be bedded in. As in drive around in stop and go traffic for about 50-100 miles before they will seat in on newly machined rotors and stop squealing. But they will stop squealing! I drove the long way to a friends house taking back streets (25 miles one way with lots of stop lights) and they had bedded in by the time I got home. I raced with them the next day without any problems. They do very street driving and brake well the first time. Other street/track pad I have tried took two or three really good stops before they got warm enough to work. Haven't noticed that on these at all.

I ended buying the EBC Yellows, but haven't had a chance to install them. I will also need to set aside some time to break them before driving this car to work. I will most likely install them this weekend as I got some other 928 Engine Stuff to do too.
