Seems like there are several options for front brake pads, just not many for
the rear brake shoes. Outside of stock compounds for brake shoes which are not
compatible for racing, racing compounds seem limited to Porterfield R-4,
Carbotech, maybe Racetorations and Cambridge Motorsports' "uprated Mintex"
shoes. I understand Revington might make something. Problem is not knowing
the temp specs and torque/bite on these latter shoes based on the website
descriptions.
Will share anything new that I learn.
Thanks
Mark

I loved the Carbotech pads when I was using them on my GT6 for track days. I
never had the odd wear problems that have been described. I always used the
Hawk Blues on my Spitfire racer and liked those as well, though they didn't
have to deal with the same heat as was generated by my GT6 brakes at Blackhawk.
The Hawk Blues I use on my Spec Racer Ford also work really well and stand up
to enough heat to turn the rotors blue. If you're unhappy with the Carbotech
pads, the Hawk Blues are a good option, in my opinion.

I agree. I get the pre-heated ones too. Carbotech stops as well or better, and
last longer than any other pads I�ve tried, and I�ve tried quite a few.
