Blake,
Do you think the pistons are binding in the bores or the binding is at the
calipers/pins?
Dave,
I've used Hawk Blues and Carbotech XP10/XP8. The Carbo's are easier to modulate
and much easier on rotors, but more expensive and very hard to bed in properly.
If you follow the directions, you smear the pads on the rotors during the
bedding process. The pads are still good, but the rotors then have to be
turned or replaced to rid the subsequent chatter. The Carbos last about 5-6
weekends.
The Hawks have equal or greater stopping power compared to the Carbotechs, but
only last about 3 weekends and require a set of rotors per set of pads. The
good news is that they are cheaper and more readily available. The
NAPA/Raybestos/Bendix are only about $15 each as well.

Speaking of spec miata and pads....
All you spec miata guys... what pads are you typically running? Think they'd
hold up to 30min sessions with a car just as light and almost as setup... but
with ~twice the HP?
Any of you guys that change pads per weekend... think they have ones left
with enough meet for hpde/open day usage? Want to sell them off... or will
them on for a fun cause (driving on track = fun cause right?).

it's a spec miata, what do you think! i replace pads like every other
weekend.
looks like calipers need to go, i think theyre eating into my lap times.
$150 for half a second is cheap at this stage.

I could have swore that there's little "W"-shaped spring clips that push
the pads away from the rotor that originally come on the car, but are usually
missing after a brake pad change or two. Do you have those on your car?

how do you adjust the front brakes on an old 1.6? Aren't they self
adjusting? I'm trying to reduce a little drag.
