Dixcel Z Type vs Endless MX-72 Plus for street use any feedback?

OEM brake pad already rated HH (meaning friction rated 0.55 cold temp and 400C), so they are overkilled for most street car but simply matching my OEM pad's friction.

Nope.

Dixcel ES is primarily organic instead of metallic.
I'm almost finishing a set of fronts (rears still got 40-50% left) in just a year.

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.

Alright Thanks!
I will watch the videos. I am googling about it too.

Yeah its behind my mind. I thought it was common knowledge so didnt type out at first. Then think think takut misunderstand so I type out.
I still prefer discussing things face to face. Typing I tend to short cut a lot of things..

He's talking about lateral G. Generally higher = more grip.

1.2g on a street car is very high. Not sure what tyres he was using when pulling 1.2G, but I recall he's only using UHP. That's very impressive.

For your reference a lot of amature drivers only pull around same 1.2G in 992 911 GT3. Although the car is 1.3-1.4G capable. Probably more G with Cup2 R tyres.

GT3 race car or LMH Hypercar can pull 4G. F1 6G? Depends on which generation rules.

Body roll, handling feel is not equal to more grip. A car can feel shit, difficult to drive, but still fast.

If you can't comprehend what he said, very hard to discuss further. Those videos are good start.

If you never annoyed by traction control made things worse (try to kill you), then driving skill also at different level then him (I know I'm not at same league).

Lastly Penang touge narrow roads. Most of the places 2nd gear run out of road and brake. Luckly if can hit 80km/h before need to brake. Want to train high speed corner with high lateral G, Penang is a terrible place.

If you can fully utilize 200hp Tanjung Bungah/Teluk Bahang area, consider way above average driving skills.

You know which category you in, you can keep it to yourself. Peace, drive safely especially in narrow touge with many blind corners.
