Cheers guys.
Edde: Am I right in thinking its about a 70 / 30 split? I would defo prefer that rear 30 to be pretty damn good also.
Nope more like 90 /10 if that. Although it does depend the weight on the rear axle.
Serously you wont have problems people on here run 172 brakes front and drums at the back with no problem on 290hp+ Clios. Disks are even more powerful so you can see there overkill more expensive pads.
You wont ever have an issue with the rear barkes beyond the disk rusting possibly if you dont brake hard. quite a few people have had to change there disks as they have gone rusty. The rear pads do nothing you cannot overheat then in use. Even the Cup racer dont use uprated stuff.
Cup racers use PF97 rear pads trust me they get used, its all about balanced braking. Yes, the rear on the 172/182 are used only 25% but when you have a brake bias valve you would be amazed at the difference in braking performance when you put some more bias to the rear compared to the road car!!!!! Road car is set to safety not max performance.
Anyways standard pads are going to be fine but hey if you can buy the same as the fronts...
Ray with all the spare tyres / Jack / tool box fluid etc your Williams must be set to 10/90
some of the teams dont bother
