You typed the numbers into google
Yea the first one that comes up is carbon loreaine, that matches the 4026 bit, but none of the rest seem to match

Yeah I just looked on their site.
Do you have a similar set? I don't get why they are marked as 108B after the 4026, any more info on this, don't want to put them on without knowing for sure what they are, any help appreciated
Yeah had them mate, also got CL5 which are 105a if i remember correctly.
The 4026 is Clio sport and Pug 306 Gti6 fitment and the 8 is the compound, and think the 'a' is road legal and 'b' race so not road legal.
Also i found them way to aggressive even with hot track rubber.

Ahh ok fair enough, what did you think of them?
Shite, way to aggressive as they lock up far to easily. Ferodo DS1.11 is by far the best pad I've tried in every way, really strong but linear coefficient, last ages, kind on discs, low dust etc.
Yea there the ones I was looking to get but had these sitting here so wanted to know if there worth putting in, think I will try and sell them and go for the ds 1.11, heard good things about them from various people

My RC5 have killed my discs and they’re meant to be ‘kind’.
RC8 must be horrendous.

love my rc8 on the race car. great from cold and never had fade with them. 1 set last the whole season and discs are fine for much longer
How well do the DS1.11s actually wear compared to road pads? My only concern is how long the DS1.11s will last...
For reference, brand new standard Pagids expired by 3pm on a full track day at Bedford last weekend.

Haha, I can trump that. My first track day in the 182 a brand new set of Brembo OE front pads lasted all of 3 hours before they where metal on metal, ruining a new set of HC discs and getting me blacked flagged and I had no spare so day over. People say OE pads are fine for track, not in my experience they aren't. In contrast I have the same Brembo OE in my Mondeo ST and they've lasted near 2 years and still have half on them.
To answer your question the DS1.11's last ages, I bought a set with 3/4 on them and have done 2k (hard) road miles and 2 full track days at max attack and they are now 1/2 worn.
Perfect answer, think I'll have to invest in some for next year. I've had enough of brake fade approaching a hairpin...

The DS1.11 wear very well, and are kind on discs as they are an endurance pad. Lots of variables effect wear rate, but like for like they will wear better than a lot of track/race pads and considerably better than OE pads
I agree on the OE pads, when I see people saying they're fine on track. I've done a track day on oe pads, and yes you aren't going to kill yourself if you drive sensibly, and keep the sessions very short and do proper cool down laps. But if driving hard, they will wear quickly as they're going beyond their intended operating range, then you can have issue such as damaging the discs and loosing track time if run out of pads/have to change them etc, so is a false economy IMO in the long run
If you're building a track focused car or race car, doing the longer/harder stints then some track focused pads are the way to go, and my preference are the DS1.11. Like with most things in life, you get what you pay for

The DS1.11 have great pedal feel, and give a very consistent pedal. You'll notice that coming from the sintered pads mate

I run RC8's in my 197 Brembos on my Ph1 172 still running the ABS and they are awesome.
I was going to remove the ABS until I spoke to a rather clever engineer at JWR and he said if you're running ABS and savage pads you need to press the brake pedal a lot harder than you think.
So I went and changed my driving style instead of trying to be smooth I just super late braked and stood on the pedal and by jove it certainly works.
Maybe that's not to everyone taste but it works for me.

From seeing what people said about the rc8s, Decided to go with the brembo hc discs and ds1.11, will let you know how I get on with them, next track day is brands hatch on the 9th,
