Best 172 pads for track.

[Waitey]

No road use what so ever. Just track.

Red Stuff?

DS2500?

Carbon L's?

I've been told the CL's are gash, don't fit correctly. Never had a problem with the ds2500's myself.

 

[Coby.]

The CL's from that list and from what I've read

 

[Waitey]

CL's look ace working lol

 

[drhowser]

performance friction 97's are pretty good too.

 

[Waitey]

I'd forgot about them.

 

[drhowser]

to be honest, the only one out of all of them that i have heard anything negative about is the red stuffs

 

[Waitey]

Yeah but they are £50 compared to £100+ for the others lol

You get what you pay for.

 

[Gray]

PF97's!

 

[172bagss2]

Mintex M1155 (with Brembo HC discs & braided lines - FTW)

 

[DrR]

Pagid blues?

 

[marinemackay2003]

yellow stuff ?

 

[homer simpson]

the best pads you could ever get for track use are performance friction 97 pads

 

[willsey]

mintex 1177 on my track car with ap brake fluid. never had brake fade with this set up. the down side is that they make alot of noise when cold and the dust from the pads is not wheel friendly, so cleaning the alloys after use is a must(like most performance pads). i have a new set mintex 1177 for sale if ur interested due upgrading to 4pots.

PF97's cannot be bettered IMO

 

[sideways danny]

we've got mintex F4 pads in our wilwoods. not sure if there's a std clio fitment yet, but they're the b****cks. very similar to carbone lorraine.

Dont touch EBC anything, DS3000 would be better than DS2500 for purely track.

Can't comment on PF, though they do have a good rep

 

[MarkCup]

PFs are good but too messy.

Blues are solid but boring, no bite from cold.

CLs let you (and everyone else) know they're working.

Can't comment on any others, but for track use alone out of the above, CLs for me every time.

 

[Waitey]

I think i'll give CL's a go first.

 

[MarkCup]

Forgot to add, completely forget DS2500s.

 

[Nafoff]

whats wrong with the ebc stuff??
