M2C Brake Pad Recommendations?
So, I'm planning my first track day with my M2C. Have any of you run these brakes stock? I'm planning on upgrading the fluid but I was wondering if the stock brakes will handle the abuse? They sure look like they can. I did look around at a couple of sites for pads but couldn't find them for the M2C. Maybe I wasn't looking well enough?

I plan on running ferodo DS1.11 pads on the front and DS2500 in the rear. The nice thing about the DS1.11 is, it's pretty close in compound to the DS2500s, which can be used on the street. So I can get away with just swapping the fronts in track day, and not have to worry about rebedding before and after each event. |

Honestly if it's your first event, you'll probably be fine on stock pads with upgraded fluid. If you really want upgraded pads, PFC08's are great. I ran them on my spec E46 and I think I'm running them on my street E46 as well. Plenty of stopping power, but they won't overwhelm street tires and they have good feel without too much initial bite.
Also, don't go crazy spending too much on brake fluid. Motul RBF600 or ATE are fine. |

Otherwise you risk getting weird behavior, or worse too much brake force on the front causing excessive wear. Quote:
RBF660 or better IMHO. I really like ProjectMu G4. Torque RT700 is good too, but I found that it really starts absorbing moisture quickly.

Hey, nice driving and I love that vantage point! Thanks for posting.
Hawk has good stopping power with DTC60, but they don't tend to last very long and you better wash the dust off soon after you use them. It is corrosive particularly after it gets wet.

Have a deal with bimmerworld so gave the XP12 front and XP10 rear a shot. Will report back after EC7's show up and can actually track the thing.
Would have gone PFC but they don't make the front pad shape (yet). |

I’ve used that combination on my Mustang. Great stopping power. I was very happy with fade resistance and speed shedding abilities. On the Mustang the XP12 only lasted 4 days though. XP10 would last 7 to 8 but if I used them on the front I’d get uneven deposits and some shudder.

~3.5mm or so. Too thin to run again. I actually bent the backing plates on my 2nd set of front XP10s bu running them too thin. Learned my lesson.

You are correct sir. Max temp of XP10 is 1400F and they leave deposits over that. Cooling would have helped, but i was lazy so I went for xp 12s instead, which are good up to 2000F.
Based on my last 2 track days in the M2 it seems like it could also use brake cooling. Any reasonable kits out there? |
