Now 50% OFF your first course: https://hpcdmy.co/semi-prob Finding the perfect brake pad that suits every and any car is a myth, because there isn’t one. A pad that survives lap after lap on the track will usually be noisier, throw more dust, and chew through your rotors faster than you’d like on the street. The key is matching the pad to the job. In this video, Andrew Price of Semi-Pro Motorsport helps break down what you really want in a street vs track brake pad, the differences between metallic and ceramic compounds, and where performance street pads fit in. We also cover cooling options, brake fluid considerations, and why driving style can make or break your setup. We even dive into real-world examples from Project Mu: HC-EP | 0-600°C – Great street manners, solid bite HC+ | 0-800°C – Street-friendly with some track ability CLUB RACER RC09 | 100-850°C – More track-focused, less street performance Remember, there’s no “one pad to rule them all.” The only way to find your perfect setup is to get out there and try different options.
