They looked ok on inspection, know i need a new rear drivers one as the nipples snappedWill do mate.
I've used them heavily on the road too and they've been fine.
Are your calipers in good condition? Mine have just been rebuilt.

We've been selling these a while and they are a bit different to the CL Brakes. CL Brakes will give instant bite, whereas these need a little bit of heat to get them at optimum temperature. By this nature they are a little more progressive on the pedal so arguably a little easier to modulate. They wear better than the RC6 and offer more bite when hot than the RC5.
Its not an endurance pad compound so dont expect to be doing 5-6 trackdays but they are still cheap for what you get.

Yeah I was a bit worried it was not going to match expectations lol. Its because they use the similar backing plate retension hooks but they certainly are so much better. I'm not a fan of advertising off a sponsored race series where there is no choice of anything else as you cannot get a guage to how it performs. Nothing like a good bit of testing to put your mind at rest though. I think the championship winning Ktec clio last year was on them and people can use whatever they like there...I remember when I was one of the first to use them and remember you saying they look like rebranded EBC told you they were good
Keep the thread posted or pm me if they start squeeling on occasion please dude (just for my curiosity aha) @JamesBryan
if they are anything like mine, some days they'll squeak and others they wont lol.like you say not as bad as Cl'sJust to keep you updated, mine have started to squeak with light road use now haha. Not loud at all though and nothing like i used to get with CL's.

Any more feedback lads? Had my first track day yesterday and hated the CL6 pads. Want something else. Thinking DS1.11 but PBS sound good!!!
Still all good for me.
Make sure you use them front and rear too, otherwise it's hard to say how good they'd be with just the fronts and oem rears.
That’s it’s. The rears make hell of a difference especially if your running a bias valve

They were doing fronts with a free set of rears a while back. Think it was about £120.Is there anyone doing any deals on these? Been thinking of getting the track ones but I know people was getting the rears as well, although a black Friday deal rings a bell.

Now for the rear pads alone it's about £70 which I refused to pay 😂 Standard brembo rears have felt identical so far and I've still got air in my brakes.
Neither is mark 🥵Yeah but you aren't giving them death on track 😂
Standard brembo are fine for the road.
@Louis that's what I was thinking. If there was a deal with a set, I'd be on it but it does seem that £70 extra over what it was puts me off a tad.
Hear many people say that the rears don't do a lot, baybe because they've not put proper rear pads in? I never have so I can't comment really.
The rears dont do a lot but they dont do nothingThats down to where the weight is when braking and how much weight transfer there is.
For a road car just slap on some Motrio rear pads and you'll be fine.
Just to follow up briefly, the PBS pads held up to some real abuse. Very little fade, good feel, easy to warm up, pretty dusty though 😂
