We’ve seen them on professional drift cars, they’ve been recommended by friends and their distributor is located right next door to where the Craigslist Miata received both a heart transplant and a rear-end rejuvenation. After spending a few minutes with my new friend Rob, he recommended the WinMax W3 brake pad. The W3 is made from a compound suited for highly spirited driving and even some track application. The W3 is not a super aggressive race pad, so there is no need to build up heat before the brakes start working. They also provide more modulation than the stock so that you can feel the difference based on how hard your right foot is depressing the pedal. These are metallic brakes, so there will be plenty more noise and dust than before, but after one afternoon spent bedding the brakes in the Crest it would be an understatement to say that the difference is like night and day.
