    Camaro rear pads

    I've been running xp10s in the front, parts store ceramics in the rear for a while now.

    I had previously tried xp8 in the back but got too much axke hop, but that was a few years ago when I didn't know how to heel toe.

    What are you guys running in the back these days?

    I also have a prop valve but leave it to full bias because the ceramics don't grab hard enough to hop.

    I have Raybestos ST43 (comparable to Hawk DTC60, MUCH better modulation than a DTC70) pads front and rear. With the bias taken out of the rear all the way I still get some axle hop when I jump on the brake pedal quickly (without locking the front). I remember one of our guys couldn't even get a weekend out of a set of parts store ceramics out back, so I'm very conflicted about what to buy next. I was thinking of the Hawk 5.0 or Street Race pads.

    I've been running xp10 fronts and xp8 rears for years. Just tried ST43s up front and liked them, but don't see a particular reason to change the rears except that I'll probably not buy carbotechs and instead go with their doppleganger; they last a long time and rear seems to respond well to adjustments to the bias valve.

    I ran and really liked the Carbotech AX06. It was an auto-cross designed pad. I ran a stock off the shelf pad a lot, but found this pad and it allowed for a lot less rear brake bias.

    Parts store rears here and have lasted for 6 weekends with a lot of life left. But I am slow soooo probably not a great idea to copy me.
