Agressive rear pads

[chrispy.clio]

I run Carbone Lorraine Front pads (RC5) and i have some cheapest of cheap rear pads.

I know the rear brakes dont really do that much but if i put some CL's in the back will it improve the braking blalance or performance?

The question is baised on the car been on track.

What pads do people use on the rear?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Cheap and nasty ones on the back

I found CL to be quite grabby when they're cold. No f**king way would I be putting them on the back of a Clio. Standard or Halfords IMO.

 

[Budgie]

Back ones do eff all.

Cheapies.

 

[DannoTheGreat]

Infact cut a packet of butter in half then slip said butter into rear calipers,this will work just fine.
Some people have even disconnected rear brakes for track use:quiet:

My car is used for some road and a lot of track. I use DS3000 on front and DS2500 rear. Read somewere that that combo was user on the race car aswell. Im very pleased with it.

ive got AP 4 pots with DS2500 and DS1.11 up front and DS2500 in the rear, works really well but not sure what compound ill run when these are worn out dont really need a pad like the ds1.11 up front with the 4 pots.

I had a faulty rear caliper and done 2 track days and a couple of sessions at combe!! Even then I didn't notice! Only when I tried to tighten my handbrake I noticed.

cheapest hard wearing low maintenance pads possible on the rear, the brake balance is the only reason the rears dont do much, and that's how you want it

my drums work fine

delphi pads are pretty decent

Pull the ABS fuse and you'll have aggressive rear brakes
