I find MX72 brake pads too street oriented for track use. Try Project Mu Racing 777 or Project Mu Racing 999 if available or Hawk DTC-60. And for tires nothing beats Dunlop DZ03G in the dry.
I would not change the pads for anything :) They work great on track - I don't need any more friction as I cannot transfer more through the skinny front tires anyway. Plus, they work on the road from cold, don't squeal, and last several trackdays. Perhaps if I was doing long stints of 10+ laps flat out I would need a more track-oriented pad. Thanks for the tip, the Dunlops are on my radar! :) I heard Hankook Z221 might be better still?
@@PecaSX when I had MX72s on my MX-5 they could only last about 3 or 4 laps in Most and then they started to fade. Only the most aggressive brake pads work for me in BM Racing sprint series, which are 7-9 laps races. First time hearing about Hankook Z221, can't find a comparison test against DZ03G. I ran DZ03G Hard compound and they were rock solid, could do 8 laps in high temperatures with no drop in grip, won me the race for sure.
