Cheap rear brake pads

[Toastfrenzy]

Need some shocking "worse than EBC green stuff" rear pads for my Cup.

Want cheap ones that will fill the space and not do any work, bias valve is tie wrapped up so full effort going to the rear.

Any ideas?

If too expensive (greens are £35-£40) I may as well replace the bias valve for £120...

motrio pads are about £15 from what I remember?

Pete do what I did and get a £9 set of Eicher's and then if thats still not good enough then remove blocks of the pad material

I recently paid 17 quid for a set of Pagid rear pads, eurocarparts.com.

Reserve on pc before you go to get that cheaper price.

Needed mine same day as they were completly worn out. A few microns more and would of been down to metal.

I was just going to put it on a lathe and do the following

A friend of mine who runs lots of racecars does it on cars where they aren't allowed to adjust the bias. He just uses a hacksaw to cut slots of material away

ah.. you mean make the pad surface area smaller, now I get your drift....good idea.
