Currently running RC5+ on Brembo HC discs and r888 tyres and find the pads totally lacking, good initial bite when warm going into a braking zone but really tail off mid-end zone and in long zones are pretty much none existent in the last 20% of a zone when hot, they also seem to be very inconsistent over say 5 hot laps where sometimes the initial bite is even weak, this does not inspire confidence at all for me and I need something with more consistency and more coefficient though the whole of the braking zone.
Was thinking RC6 as these have a coefficient of 5 start-mid range and seem to work better at higher temps (see below) whereas the RC5+ have a coefficient of just over 4 mid range but tail of towards the end which explains the above. Then you have the RC8 which have a coefficient of a tad over 6, but not sure if these would be to much on a light Clio?
Preferably I would like a pad that I can get to the limits of the r888s, the RC5+ there's no chance of a lock up under heavy braking which isn't utilising the full grip of the tyre, obviously RC6 would be better but I'm really tempted by the RC8 as these would surely use the full grip of the tyres? Also would RC6/8 pads work with Brembo HC discs?
Thoughts of people who have actually used the RC6 and or RC8 much appreciated?
*the brakes would not be used on wet track days or road, I'd swap to OE for this.
