P. Mu Club Racer
Who has them and how are they on street? I have HC800 now, front pads are almost worn down and heaps left on rear so thinking of throwing in a set of Club Racers.

Re: P. Mu Club Racer
fantastic pad for the money. very capable on the track, and not too bad on the street.
my vote is separate pad for road and track! no compromise!

Re: P. Mu Club Racer
I have a low km set in my gc8, If you always remember that the brakes won't work effiecently cold you should be ok
But if you one to tho the keys to a mate to pick up another 6pack coz you have had to many yourself , I wouldn't run them

Re: P. Mu Club Racer
Hey Shane its a real toss up between the Winmax pads and the ClubRacer but being the next step up from the HC800 and only slightly more expensive i am quite keen to try them out 
And thanks for the feedback JBonDSS, thats the only worry for me but how long does it take to get them to come in? Are they also very noisy?

Re: P. Mu Club Racer
Should i run Club racer at the front and leave the HC800 in the rear? i don't know what it would do to my car's balance under braking , and end up wearing out the Club Racer's quicker too .

Yeh, I'm not sure on that one mate

As you're running bigger brakes and rotors than me.
I've got the W5s up front and W3s on rear!

Re: P. Mu Club Racer
Hey Zhi, I'm pretty sure Scott (Alpha Dog) is running the Club Racers up front & HC800's at the rear on his 06 STi, he might be able to chime in with this experience/thoughts
Also, how did your new Recaro race seat go at Sandown on the weekend? Are you happy with it?

Re: P. Mu Club Racer
I'm here. The balance with the HC800 rear + Club Racer front on the track and with R-specs is good. The fronts have more bite but the point of lockup/ABS seems balanced across all 4. I don't run the Club Racers on the road except for bedding in... and doing that on sticky road tyres the fronts are locking before the back (which is stable). I agree with the comments above re running them on the road... not as bad as I expected. I have no evidence that the CR's will wear the rotors faster, but others have said they will... and maybe on the road when cold and operating in friction rather than hot material transfer they will. (If you don't understand that last bit ... read more). They don't squeal as much as the HC800's but shims cure that for them both.
I plan to run the Club Racers across all 4 (track only) when the HC800's are done.

Re: P. Mu Club Racer
Hi dbz, I was in the Silver 15 STI running with you at Sandown (i think) on the 30th, I was running RC09's up front with PMU 2 piece rotors and HC800's in the rear, the stopping power is awesome and felt well balanced with no fade noticed in any of the sessions running Yoko Ad08R's. However, I have used over 70% of the front pads up already after just one and a half tracks days and about 500kms road driving. Have now got a set of PMU H12's on order, will see how they go. As for street Driving on RC09's they felt fine with not too much squeal, the HC800s in the rear are really noisy though.

Re: P. Mu Club Racer
I ran the HC800 up front with standard rotors earlier this year and after 3 track days at Sandown the outer right pad failed and disintegrated braking into turn 6 (not fun), after that we pulled the HC800s out and found that with the other 3 pads the compound had become completely separated from the backing plates!. The RC09 gives you a lot more confidence especially with a bit of heat, I will have no chance of even keeping close to you now lol.

I use them on th street with no issues. They squeal when cold but performance is right there and are fantastic when warm and fantastic on the track. Seem to last a lot longer than a cheaper pad too.
Good choice

Re: P. Mu Club Racer
What about Winmax pads? Has anyone tried them compared to the PMU Club Racers? Which Winmax is equivalent?
