Gauging interest on Endless CC-A Brake pads

**GarageSpec.com** · 03-05-2007, 07:29 PM

I'm gauging interest to see if IWSTI members are interested in endless street CC-A Pads.

CC-A are endless's low dust street pad. Temperature rating around 200-300 degree.

would they compare in dust to Carbotech Bobcats? Cost?

**GarageSpec.com** · 03-06-2007, 03:46 PM

Personally I don't have any experience with Carbotech Bobcats so I can't provide a comparison.
Endless is the most well know brake company in Japan.
The their CC-A is one of the best street pad available.
MSRP on these pads are $160
Of course the GB will be lower if we get enough interest.

I run the centrix (stoptech) pad in my family minivan.
They are decent, but i really wouldn't consider them as anything other than a OEM replacement for regular cars.
Centrix is a big oem manufacturer.
We can even get their slotted and drilled rotor.

Carbon-ceramic brakes use the same principle as ordinary disc brakes. Stationary twin calipers clamp onto both sides of a disc rotating next to each wheel of a car, slowing it by friction.

The energy of the car's momentum is transformed into heat at the point of the friction, so brakes can get extremely hot. Carbon-ceramic brakes use carbon fiber and ceramic materials that are stable at temperatures that would make steel discs bendable. Performance doesn't diminish, leading to fade, with repeated use.

Carbon-ceramic brakes also typically use larger calipers to spread the clamping force over a wider area, improving braking performance.

Race-car brakes must be warmed before they work properly. For passenger cars, carbon-ceramic brakes must be fully effective immediately. The discs and brake pads are more sophisticated, with carbon fibers arranged to strengthen the disc and conduct heat away from the surface.

Its only fair to mention that the PosiQuiet Semi Metallics that TiC tested are not the same as the PosiQuiet Ceramic formula, hence the different name. The Semi Metallics have better performance than the ceramic compound and brake dyno testing has shown they outperform Hawk HPS as well.

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread...

True,
Axxis pads are also made by centric.
I been running axxis ULT for the past year on my car and track with those pads.
They do eat up the rotors thou.
Centric do make good stuff.

ESmooth · 03-07-2007, 05:10 PM

Actually, Centric does not make the Axxis pads as they are part of the Bendix family but they are the largest Axxis distributor and have pull when it comes to things like new applications.
