[mallspeed]

Hi iv just got a Rs2 172 and im going to do track days in it and not much road use and its about ready for some new brake pads what ones should i get ?? red stuff ??

 

[Fred@BTM]

nothing from EBC - rubbish

are you a tarty poof track day go-er who polishes his car?

OR

are you a man's man who doesn't care about paintwork and just wants to go flat out?

PF97s

A mans brake pad!

 

[MartinR]

trackdays steer clear of EBC

The burp speed guys are running yellow stuff and like them, so maybe not all EBC pads are naff.

 

[Fred@BTM]

novice - stock pads are "ok" but will die fairly quickly
experienced - DS2500's
hero - DS3000's
complete 100% god - PF97/Pagid Blue etc


someone will be along and recommend CL pads - i don't rate them, we've seen several set fall apart

Interesting every one says ebc pads are rubbish, I get them very cheap so have been using them
And have had no problems, no fading no crumbling ECt spent alot of time tracking last year and I thought they worked well but in fairness I have not tryes other pads

ATM I am running DS3000 (4 pots) great pads, shame they ruin wheels.

 

[The Dominator]

Guessing they chuck out alot of break dust?

PF97s almost ruined my wheels! But epic braking power!!

How long back was this as they have changed there whole range of pads due to that issue from what I belive, asoon
As mine heat up they perform very well And I have had no issues

[The Dominator]

Not sure then I thought it was a couple of years back they changed Im due for a new set soon so think I may go down the
Pagid route

pagid cost a lot,but they work brill from cold(mine are beter than standard from cold and just get better and better)even in this weather....ds2500 seem to get good reviews too

Something to look into I think
