Club Sprint Brake Pads SW20 Gen3 Turbo
Hi,
I'm having trouble sourcing track day brake pads for a SW20 Gen3 turbo. I want to avoid EBC and am looking at options like Ferodo DS2500, however I'm not sure if they are available. a lot of USA sites only list pads for the US models which I'm unsure are the same as the jap spec Gen 3's, in particular the rear brakes? also I want the exact same pads front and rear, I don't want to use different brands or different friction materials within brands.
I'm looking for part numbers and recommendations based on experience using different brands at the track. Pricing would be good too. For reference I'm currently using Endless pads however I'm unsure on the spec without pulling them out. They seem very expensive however when looking at the price of Endless pads.

When i was gathering research to get DS2500 for my GEN3/late model brakes, i discovered that, "Ferodo DS2500 pads are not made for the MR2, so they have to be cut down from a larger pad, this works out to be $371 for the front pads (DB1352 Shape)".
So i just went for Intima SR :)

Awesome thanks for that. I think the rears I need are IN1260 though as I'm turbo. the listed number you gave seems to come up as the non turbo spec. How do you find these pads on the track?

I ran these pads a few years ago. They are a good pad for what you will manage. If you put a sticky tyre (hoosier), they will fade.
Don't forget a quality fluid and additional ducts for cooling (if possible).

How many laps before they fade? What size rotors were you running?

give us a email or call. we have a pad locally made, work great on all our race cars and quite acceptable on the street.
there are 2 different pads found in 93 on models. you need to be very clear especially on the back where the anti-rotation dimple size changed but pad shape stayed the same.
Typically under $160/set

Mines a 94 GTS. Do you know what friction material the pads you can get are using or the friction coefficient, heat range etc?

I was running standard Gen 3 rotors and calipers. It only took a few laps at Oran Park before failure. I ran the same pads in a ST162 for a day with no problems but both these instances were 4 years ago. Looks like road and track has a good option. May want to try what he has to offer. He is always at the track testing something!

I've used a few different pads on my 97 NA. EBC yellow and QFM A1RM. No issues with either of them and no real fade problems. After maybe 5 laps or more I notice the car starts to take a little longer to pull up and I might miss an apex. I ran EBC yellow when I was still on street tyres. A1RM was used mostly with semi slicks and found they were also good but didn't last as long since I was braking harder with the semis (or maybe just not as hard wearing as the Yellow's? Can't be sure). Either way, I just ordered another set of the A1RM's. Can't go wrong for $120 per axle or $240 for the whole set.
I've currently got a set of half used Intima SR on the front which I've thrown on as a set of emergency pads. Last pads were finished off at a track day so I had to replace them with something quick-smart. Not tracked them yet but I'll let you know how they go.

Thanks I'm actually going to give TRW's a shot because they are cheap as and seem to get great reviews. Everyone tracking them only seem to have good things to say about them. When I fit them I'll be fitting larger disks so will see how it all holds up.

Raj i thought you had a BBK?
I have used TRW in MR2's for years and they are great, however they recently stopped manufacturing the high temp versions i used for the MR2's which sucks....
