Excuse me for not commenting specifically about the rear shoes. I also use standard street shoes from Moss on the back of my TR3 with Datsun aluminum drums. No problems at all. Little wear as well. I’ve changed the front pads a number of times in comparison during my relatively short racing years.

</div> I’m using stock shoes in the back of my TR4; seems to work OK! :-) and yes, I’m typically braking pretty late and hard.

I’m curious if anyone gets any real temperature on the rear brakes? Mine seem just a little warm coming off track…. But maybe others have cooked stock compound shoes?

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.

<br clear="none">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.

<br clear="none">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.
