172 cup - which pads for road use?

[montana]

Been searching on the subject and DS2500's seem to be THE choice, however i will not be going on a track & dont have £100+ to spend on pads. I have just bought some Brembo HC's from the other thread, what pad should i be looking to pair up with the Brembo discs??

Are these Pagid ones anygood ?

In all honesty, purely for road use I'd use standard if not going for the ferodo's. Just make sure fluid etc is good, and braided hoses are worthwhile.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Just road use,anything really.

 

[montana]

any particular brands recommended? ECP do an Eicher (sp) brand which is around £19 - not sure whether to steer clear as i have never heard of them!

 

[Budgie]

I'd try and stick to Ferodo or Pagid if going for boggo spec pads..

 

[Nick172Cup]

Carbon Lorraine RC6's

 

[Iceberg_172]

Try the EBC ultimax pads. I have them on mines and quite impressed with them

 

[jack_kemp]

Why are you upgrading your brakes at all if it's just for normal road use?

 

[BoroGTI]

for normal road use i just run standard pads, Motul DOT4 brake fluid and braided hoses

OEM pads from renault 40 quid and they pretty good with my brembo hc's on the road.

Carbon Lorraine RC6's

I hope you are joking . The RC6 has a high iron content so has a high wear rate when cold, which it would tend to be when used on the road. RC5+ is better

 

[LowLife.]

Stick with OEM for day to day use.

 

[Soot1e]

The Pagid are great for stopping cold or hot. They are OE suppliers to many maufacturers and I have them on the VRS.

Dont use green stuff on the back. Pointless and far to hard as i found out.

 

[Gt rob]

Got green stuff on the rear, red stuff up front, but it does get used for what it was built for. Green stuff or standard peds mate if you don't push your car

 

[.Kev.]

Anything but Green or Red Stuff.

 

[Sparko]

Agreed ^^

Very impressed with my D2500's, had them on since feb this year, hammered them on 2 track days and done about 8000 everyday miles, only 10% worn and they work better than OEM from cold imo. Like others have said if you want to upgrade I'd go for braided lines and decent fluid (Castrol Super dot4 stuff does the trick in mine), standard pads are decent ferodo ones anyway so stick with them is my advice

 

[Carbontec]

You can take Ferodo DS2000 from me if you want, It is good for fast road use. please PM

 

[montana]

went for ebc ultimax with brembo hc discs, combined with new fluid the brakes are nice and sharp

 

[gez 172]

mine is just for road use at the moment. But i like going for 'spirited' drives.
Im using ferodo ds2500 pads on the front with brembo max disks.
K-tec rears with ferodo ds rear pads and hel front and rear braided lines.
Unbelivable bite from them.
