They would also start to squeal when stopping if the calipers weren’t kept clean. All that is behind me now. I did a track day last fall on the Tom’s pads and they performed flawlessly.

Damn I’m sold. Definitely don’t mind spending money on important components such as the braking system. No games needed to be played with trying to stop. I’m going to replace all four rotors on mines with stock oem ones centric from modinjapan and then upgrade the pads to toms and that should do it. Thanks

Does Tom’s make street performance pads that stop well when cold yet can be used for light track, or only race pads that you have to heat up to get any grip?

Tom's racing performers are our best sellers. Great for daily, track, and less brake dust than OEM.

Units in stock in a week.

Mine are toms performers. Great on the street and the track. Definitely don’t need to heat them up. I find they are a bit “bite-ey” when cold.
