Does anyone know of any aftermarket performance brake pad options for the ZTK package? The OEM pads seem solid, but I'd like to have some options when the time comes to think about swapping them out.

EBC and Porterfield R4S

EBC makes the Red, Yellows and Blue NDX for our calipers.

I am running the Blue NDX track pads this season and I ran the R4S for almost a year + track days.

The R4S are great if you don't have sub freezing weather and are beginning on track.

Thanks for the insight, I will need something that can handle the cold but also performs well for some HPDE Novice level tracking. If I remember right EBC Yellow would probably be a solid fit.

I think it would be a good starting point, I've ran them on plenty of cars and they work quite good until you push them hard and even then they still work but wear ultra fast. And normally they are fairly cheap.

If you ever need new rotors I've found the best price to be eeuroparts, only $144 each !! These suckers are massive. Also note there is a different part number for right and left as the internal vanes have a direction.

How are the Blues for cold weather day-to-day performance? I dont do a lot of track running but do a lot of day-to-day driving.

Can't say for now as I installed them last weekend but there will be some cold mornings soon. With the sticker on the box "for track usage ONLY" I don't think they will be all that great.

Got it, Yellow Stuffs sound good then. I will likely on be on track a few times at most per year... I just did my first HPDE event and I dont expect to do more than 3 a year going forward
