182 brake pads? Help

[Andy_con]

I know theres lots of stuff on here about brakes but i cant find what im after.

whats the best pads money can buy, but using the standard 182 disks?????

Define best...

Cheapest? - probably Renault OE
Most resistant to fade? - err, DS3000, PF97 or Pagid Blue
Least brake dust? - pass
Longest life? - DS2500 (current set have lasted me 12K+ 4-5 trackdays)
Most spectacular? PF97

Got to be PF97's then. You'll be hard pushed to find any pad that stops you better than that.

my wheels are f**ked anyway so not bothered on brake dust.

Its a good job then! Perfect candidate for the PF97's :clown:

LOL

These young drivers in fast cars... :rasp:

I'm on pagid blues and have no trouble whatsoever with them - good from cold, not too noisy, little or no dust in day to day driving, strong and fade resistant every time, inspire lots of confidence

They're not very cheap though, admittedly... lol

You'll have to have a drive of mine at some point!

Paul i would drive your car but it seems to be in the garage more than on the road LOL

so taking brake dust into account then and good stopping, which ones????????

 

[White16valver]

shoosh! lol

Mine's been very reliable engine-wise!

*touches lots and lots of wood* lol

I'd go Pagid Blue or ds2500 if you don't want much dust. If you don't care if you damage your wheels over time, PF97. (though they take a bit of warming up I believe, whereas the first two don't really.)

cool where can i get them from and how much

 

[White16valver]

Pagid Blue £135 + £5 P&P from yozzasport or £138+VAT (£163) + P&P from KTec

DS2500 are £85 + £5 P&P from Yoz

You only need the front pads as rears don't work that hard!

I have been using ds2500 for around a couple of weeks, i think they need to be warmed up before they work properly, so no speeding at the start of a journey....

My Mintex pads work straight away from cold. And they are seriously aggressive. I'm using the race pad 1177.
They don't produce too much dust, but they do squeel a bit from time to time.

The fast road Mintex pads are pretty good too. just less aggressive than the race pad.

How much are your Mintex Steve? im looking at upgrading my discs soon too.
