Testing brake pads

[TCJBOLDIE]

As some may know I have been using FORZA FP3 pads in my track day Honda for some time now and they have been fine and easy to modulate over the 0-800 deg heat range .At a recent track day I was approached by the NEXZTER distributer for a passenger hot lap and he suggested that I should try his NEXZTER race spec pads so as I needed new pads for my next track day I have removed the discs and had them skimmed and they are now back on my car with the NEXZTER pads installed in mt AP Racing BBK upgrade. I have bedded them in and my initial road impressions are that they have a bit more initial bite that may help a slightly later brake application. They have the same heat range and IMO are quite suitable for your every day car the sees some track time as they need no warming up like some track day pads need.
Will post more after my next track day next week.

Interesting my friend, keep us posted.

Tracked my car today and found that the Nexzter race spec pads the purple ones wiped all 5-10 kph more off my T1 corner speed when applied at the same point so I will have to brake deeper and later to get better times .IMO they are perfectly fine for a road car that does occasional track days as they have excellent bite from cold and gave me no concerns over the 5 hot lap sessions. BTW I am known as a late braker so having to get on them a couple of yards later than usual will test my resolve / nerve.
