New Brake Pad Selections from DBA - Street and Track
DBA has been upping the game to include some high quality brake pads to go along with the renowned rotors.
The compounds can best be described as street, combo and track only. Street Light track/AutoCross/Heavy street We are still getting used to them with some try outs Dan at Mach V ran a set of the street/track ones at Summit Point on his 2015 WRX. Dusty - but no fade or judder. Good results so far. And track only pads Here is a review of these on a C7 Corvette https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=PIKy0horsYA

Some of the pad shapes and compounds are still coming in so the SD pads are hard to get.
We have run some of the XP 650 on a WRX at Summit Point. They held up to track use for one day on Mach V's car. Quite dusty though. We also have this review on the XP+735's |

Im interested how the XP650 compares to the Hawk HP+ or Street Race pads.
Also how the SP500 or SD610 compare to the Hawk 5.0 Streets pads. |

I need his full report but this is what we have talked about. Brake torque is good and there is little to no noise. Rotor wear is TBD. They do make a lot of dust. At a low effort track day he was able to lap Summit Point pretty well. Calling Dan Hurwitz |

I have the SP500's for my STI now but so far I just took good pictures.
Hope to get them on next week. Last Humans Garage did a good review on the 2015 WRX versions on his youtube channel |

We are getting more and more feedback on these pads. I have a set of the street pads for my 08 STI and my C6 Z06 to install that are just waiting for better weather.

Ken and Nick -
How would you compare the DBA XP650 and XP+735 to the Carbotech XP8? |
