Pagid pads

[Jones]

I will need to change the pads in my 172 soon and i was thinking about getting some pagid High grade-fast road front brake pads, the £50 ones not the blue ones that are about 100+. Does anyone have any experience of these or should i just put some standard pads in?

 

[White16valver]

I've got the blue ones and they're great :approve:

Not that that helps you... lol :clown:

 

[Jones]

i did look at those but they are £160+ for a set of pads which is laughable!!!

 

[White16valver]

But they are ace!

Mine have never faded and bite well from cold - I'll probably buy some more if I ever wear these down enough!

 

[Gareth]

got them on mine (fast road) :

 

[Jones]

What are they like G20GRC? do they fade? good pedal feel etc?

 

[BRUN]

ive got em on the valver

happy with em for the price, but i wont be using them again, they lack initial bite and once you get em really hot they feel like your braking with a bag of marbles, feels through the pedal very rough

get em from GSF by the way, really cheap

im sticking with Ferodo from now on, tried other brands and they just cant compete for the £££

 

[Jones]

i think i'll just bung a set of standard ones in cant reallly complain about them i supose

I've got teh fast road pads on mine, lasted 2 full track days and getting on for 20k of road miles, never had any fade outa them yet

 

[Gareth]

i find they are very sharp on initial bite, but i changed the pads and discs at the same time, so its difficult to tell the difference from standard setup

i've just had tarox 40 groove discs and track pads they bite really well and work straight away(awaits the tarox are a load of sh*te)

 

[MarkCup]

Can't speak for the discs, but Tarox Fast Road & Track pads are sh*te.

One track day + 3k road miles and they'd almost gone. Also, when putting new discs on, Mike @ Rentech noticed that both of them had a huge crack running all round about 1mm in from the edge of the pad material. Would have been a right f***er if they'd decided to break up on road or track.

I'm steering well clear of them in future.

Hows the Pads with them Brembo discs Mark?

Mine have almost no intial bite now, nice and progressive, only thing is you have to stamp ont eh brakes to stop from hgih speeds, gonna try some grooved discs next time for a little more intiial 'bite'

 

[BRUN]

i went from Ferodo normal £20 pads with Tarox discs, really really worn, and they were better than what ive got on now

got the pagid fast roads with Brembo Max Discs
