Cl5+ or cl6 for track day car

[boorek]

Hi! Is it big difference in those brake pads? Which one is better for track day and road use? Don't mind dust or noise... Cl5+ are about 40 pounds cheaper at the moment. Also does anyone using ktec braided braking lines? Any good or go for HEL ones?

I'm using CL5+ and whilst good want something better. On advice of people on here I'm going to try the CL6

RC6 are better for track work ( I am currently using Rc6 pads on my 172)

RC6 are horrible imo, great stopping power but crumbled to bits after two track days, made a real mess of my wheels too 😧
My DS1.11 have done five track days with plenty left on them. I'll not have CL again.

My CL RC6 pads have been great.

What are the DS1.11 like for dust ruining wheels etc?

Soooooo much less dust than my old CLs, very much like 2500s but better stopping power, I'll be buying again

pretty good and I've not got squeal either, I do pull them, clean and grease them after every track day though

I may try them after my RC6's wore down to about 1mm at Oulton and they produced so much heat they melted the piston rubber seal and the fixing lugs on my wheel centre caps and the valve cap covers lol

I've just ordered rc6... Will se how they perform. How many track days/miles you can do on them?

I just come from RC6 to DS1.11 and the ONLY thing I prefer about the CL RC6 is no bedding in lol just chuck them in and go, DS1.11 have to be bedded in which can be a pain for me as I don't like doing it on the sighting laps. Other than that I will probably buy DS1.11 again next time.
