Yozzasport (PF97) Brake Experience
- Thread starter dk
- Start date
From memory daves pads got a little low to say the least at oulton... Yoz was on hand with some pads.... got him out of trouble....
personally the PF's stop really well, had some for a while.... and was impressed... however my wheels and paintwork fell foul as well to the dust..... (which we all know about)
but as a track pad they are pretty damn good.... as long as you clean the car afterwards

Ross, please do not hijack my thread, if you haven't got anything constructive to say, please don't say it at all, this is not a GDI vs. Yozzasport or a Ross vs. Yozzasport thread.
If I see you post one more time in here I will have no choice but to hand you a warning for a personal attack on a member.
Thankyou

Shame you had so much truoble with the dust dave, is because of the pads and discs compination or do you think the brembo discs have added to it? reason i ask is because i will be getting some brembo pads and standard renault pads. since i wash my car like once every 3 months, didn't really want the same problem!!

who gives a s**t.....back to the brakes.
To be very honest, i am bitter!! I was pushed towards the Yozzasport brake kit.....it was sold to me as a fast road application. Under the trading standards "fit for use" clause I am well within my rights to undertake legal action! I was assured that the kit had undergone extensive testing by yozzasport and that it was the best fast road kit on the market.
The pads are only fit for track use, full stop! They ruined 2 sets of my wheel's, they have also ruined my paint...twice! At my expense i had a professional detailer renovate my paint at my expense....I then had no other choice but to bin the PF pads and purchase something more 'suitable'. I'm half tempted to invoice yozzasport for this and express my feelings about said company but tbh i dont think it will get me anywhere
Live and learn.

From a legal front you would get nowhere and wouldnt agree with you point of view invoicing back the parts. Most other companies sell them as fast road applications too (new site says track i believe), if you look into its a lot down to the discs and with high grade discs (PF/AP/ALCON) then the dust issue is not a major problem. The material on your wheels is disc material not the pad.
Anyways that you experience and im sure you will learn and it great they people provide products so we can learn, whether that be GDI/YSport or whoever...

Like the Murphy's - im not bitter...
Anyways peoples experiences are very important and you have voiced yours. When i had the EVO PF pads and std dics (same problem dust sticking) using PF discs then not big dust problem....main composition of the dust is disc material. Performance in all cases was excellent.
Gary i thought you car was a track orientated car given its stripped and modded.....but i remeber that your car is weighed down with all the meguires stuff...LOL
DS2500 are best for road use and minimal dust on std/brembo discs.

Purely from a performance point of view, I dont think its unreasonable to refer to them as a Fast Road kit as they do work fine when cold, so are useable on a day to day basis unlike some track / races pads which just dont work unless you get some heat into them.
But yeah, they are a bit more track focussed than the other fast road labelled seups available, and the dust issue means they are not ideal for regular daily use.

We have no invoices to you Gary. Ever.Gary G said:
IE. We have never sold anything directly to you?
I think I sent you two tyres from the group buy i arranged personally, but nothing else.
The PF '97 brake set-up is sold with people being made aware that the pads create a lot of dust. If you want great stopping power and dust, buy them. If you don't, buy something else.
The DS2500 pads come with the warning not for road use on. The PF '97 do not come with this warning.
The pagid Blue comes with no warning, but at over £100 they are not in most peoples budget.
The new Greenstuff pad is quite good.
Mintex have a 172 pad.
there are plenty of choices, even renault pads and halfords.

I cant be bothered to argue. I bought the kit as a yozzasport fast road brake package through GDI....you told me they had a set on the shelf so i went there. I have never bought anything from you direct.
EVOgone- "but i remeber that your car is weighed down with all the meguires stuff...LOL"
Haha...made me laugh mate.
Well, in all honesty i think the pads are very nice but should be confined to track cars only! The DS2500's are fine so far....as a road/track compromise.
Just my opinion, fed up of all the bitching in all honesty.

Weeman sucks ****
I have the DS2500 with brembo discs, and they're great. Better than the Renault option but I never had any issues with the standard renault brakes either, never faded once round track.
You lot should learn to glide the car more lol. Eh jon_r

EK9 + Mfactory gearing..
i use the pf kit its awsome, had no issues with dust on paintwork either, car gets cleaned usually once a week and i dont spend 20hrs on it like the clay bar fairys on here, since changing my rims to a multispoke & using the pf's i slap on some halfords wheel protector (5min job) and this keeps the dust from settling on the rims. shame that some didnt get advice on dust & noise levels from these but if something is that good theres always a catch eh, i mean if cup racers use them...

I always found standard setup fine....
... for about a lap.
Who needs brakes.Just to throw a cat among the pigeons (maybe) I can recommend the Pagid Blue pads - great from cold, consistent and strong when hot, no dust problems at all so far as far as I can see! I just used a wool mitt and meguairs gold class and they came up shiny and new
