Dixcel ES will eat your brake disk.

How much mileage in the year?
How is the behaviour? From the website pressure chart, the friction seems to be pretty linear.

I'm look looking at Z type for a while. I want stronger brake during low pressure/shallow pedal.

Z type has slightly stronger initial bite low brake pressure at mid/low speed than ES. Average friction is similar with my OE pads.

The ori pads fiction is HH rated (0.5u+ for both low temp and 400C+), performance after market option for my car is almost non-exist.
Either too less friction or never make one for my car. Z type is the rare odd.

Have you tried TRW dtec by any chance? How does it compared to the Dixcel ES?
I believe your driving style is almost like mine, hence i think if you say its good for u, it shld be good for me too lol

Now u make me curious, how does your car's handling compared to mine? Since u are at the extreme side and i dont think i am extreme.

and 2 fingers, best handling n comfort for me), hardrace arms n bushings, ur bars for engine and bottom chassis,

we are not the same

2k spring rates will have more body roll, how does this translate to better handling?

Also, I don't quite understand your G values analogy.

4 pots will always have better braking distance provided  the 4 pots will have the shorter braking distance.

What do you think?

I was hoping we could share our knowledge.


Again I think what you are saying is not what I understand.

Stock suspensions on standard car like yours or mine, not including supercars will always have less sharper handling due to excessive body rolls especially during touge.

Any upgrades that reduces body roll = better handling.

I change my brake pads first.

Alright. How about any links for me to read up?
Youtube videos even better?
I am really curious.

Example:
Everything same, same car, same professional driver. With 2k spring rate vs 6k spring rate, the 2k spring rate will have faster track time?
Of course i'm not talking about 20k spring rate until the car is jumping around, losing more traction.. As long as the car is planted, having less body roll will always means better handling.
