I have used all.

Why do you want to step up?
Going to the track?

SR is more aggressive than ss.

FP3 doesn't bite aswell cold as the SR. But handles heat and Wear better. I recommend this for track.

If I were you and only using for the street, ss would be my choice.

If you really want to step up then go SR. Just remember that Cold braking will be slightly affected

Thanks for the speedy replies!

Looking more to improve the feel and performance I have now with the SS pads, with the hope of throwing in the odd track day in the future

Having the SR pads on the back too, I'd like to match or better the pads on the front performance wise. The FP3 sounds like it's more track suited if it's not as good cold, so I'll just grab the SR's, cheers guys

 

What Bill said. I've had both SS and SR, wouldn't do the SS again but the SR are great. They were excellent at Sandown with new RDA rotors too.
I have some squeal on the street under light pedal pressure but otherwise can't fault them.
Talk to Johnny for a deal :)

Had the Intima SR's on front now for a few weeks, they are really good.

No noise so far, minimal dust and decent amount of bite. Good pedal modulation under heavy braking

Street use only at this stage

I have Intima SR's as well on new RDA slotted rotors. Bedding in procedure was done correctly, but mine squeal like a pig when light breaking (i'm talking car park below 15km/h speeds)

On the road and under normal to heavy breaking they are noise free

I have Intima SR on the front on my wagon, it's quiet. Bit dusty though and overkill for my daily wagon use.

If it's a daily, should go SS :)

add a bit of copper grease between the caliper piston and brake pad - it helps :)

Bought Intima SR's from Johnny a while ago, they held up pretty good at Sandown, once hot they stopped awesome just felt I had to apply quite a bit of pedal pressure. Appart from the low speed sqeal I can't complain and Johnny was awesome to deal with

Power Stop in the US sent me a set of their "Track Day" pads.  Yeah, they're called "Track Day".   They're partners with Bondourant Driving School here and used on Vettes.

They're something like $65 and I think they're very cheap in comparison to what else is out there.  At New Jersey Motorsports Park I only had 30 minutes of track time due to an ABS pump failure but they performed well enough with ATE Type 200 fluid.  NJMP's Thunderbolt circuit has a two higher speed straights with braking zones from 120-130 to 60 MPH'ish.  The pads felt like they had no issues with the job.

After getting home and removing the pads, I think they wore down 50% or so.  I'd have to measure thickness but I'm not so sure they would have held up to a 2-day weekend and 120+ minutes of lapping.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
