Which pads to go with brembo "max" discs?

[Paddy_g46]

whats best for up front? also my rears need replacing should i just go for standard cheap pads at the rear?

 

[diamond geezer]

standards for the rear, but after talking to yozzasport, i went for pagid blues on the front. not cheap but f*ck me they do narf slow you down. thats my recommendation.

I got some green stuff pads on the back and front with brembo max pads. Even when i just put them on, the brakes seemed stronger and thats before they were even bedded in as well. Only put them on 2 days ago so aint had a chance to bed in yet. Less brake dust as well using the green stuffs!

Aye, and squeal like a banshee in traffic ^

Few run pagid blues with brembo max's.

I had ebc pads on the front......but they are soooo $hite, had them smoking after a 5min heavy braking session going though some very twisty lanes.

Just bought some Pagid blues today after hearing so much about them

I've got some brembo max discs with mintex extreme pads, haven't tried any others to compare but can't fault them myself they work well. Better over standard for sure.

I've got the same brakes as you as well so the performance should be similar i'd have thought.

What discs they running with mate?

Just in stop start traffic i find, when light on the brake i get a high pitched squeal until i stop.

have you tried giving them some proper stick yet? as i found mine just stopped working thats why i went back to pagid pads

 

[bmh.01]

Yup, haven't faded yet and they've had some hammer to test them out. Do smell rather funky when they get hot mind, but they still brake fine.

Max disks. Just thinking about it, since i have had them on, its basicly been winter, so windows up most of the time, hmmm dunno, will have to check it now.

EDIT: @ peperami

 

[Dink]

yeah they do stink when they get warm but i really didn't like them and they were about 75% worn after about 3k

Maybe the grooves will help stop the squealing? Mine are on HC's.

Cant fault them otherwise though, wicked pads.

Will have to keep my eye on the wear level of them then, mind you 9.9/10 they don't get hammered anyway so maybe they'll last a little longer. No loss really if they do wear quick they were only £30 so i'll just try something else.

[Fred@BTM]

not at this time of the month!!

Yeah they do squeal, just at the end of breaking, worse if cold, not a massive mare. Could understand the problem with a lot of city driving.

Worse noises for me, dash for one and the window runner sounds like its trying to break out my passenger door. Dealer was laughing at me @ Cup purchase
