carbonne lorraine brake pads
have been using the performance friction discs and pads for 2 years now and dont get me wrong they are a very good set of brakes.as it came to renew my pads i thought ide try something different and am i glad i did,i had performance friction discs skimmed then fitted the carbonne lorraine pads as i was told they didnt need bedding in it was straight to a bit off high speed tests feckme these pads are excellent from cold they bite hard and high speeds they are even better.also to add to it they are a lot cheeper than the pfriction ones,thanks to godspeed brakes for recomending them. :thumb: :thumb:

That's good to hear - I've just fitted some today in advance of a trackday on Monday, so will find out soon enough whether I agree!

Also do you get brake squeel at low speeds from the carbonne lorraine pads? Cheers:) |

Bigarf,
Just wondering which PF pads you updated from - Z rated or 01? Also do you get brake squeel at low speeds from the carbonne lorraine pads? Cheers:) [/I][/QUOTE] the performance friction pads i had on were the z rated ones and no i havnt had any break squeel from the carbonne lorraine pads yet but have only done about 60miles with them in so far but even if i get a bit of squeel it will be worth it for the way they perform. |
Mine didn't squeel until I had done approx 100 miles on them.

same as above ian godney from godspeed brakes.

Well I've just done 8 sessions at Castle Combe today, car is a classic wagon with Subaru 4-pot fronts with Carbonne Lorraine RC5 pads, and newage 2-pot rears with Mintex 1155's. They had good bite and with a bit more of a prod, excellent stopping. Modulation was excellent too, and wear was less than 1/4 of the pad, so quite low as well. Overall I'm very impressed with them.
|
anyone know if Ian still carries the Carbone Lorraine pads?
Ive sent goodspeed brakes an email, and Ian a pm on here, but havent got a reply, i think my PM's/E-mails may be wonky. |
Hi, I recently had his last set, he even took them out of his demo car for me! But I'm sure he'll be getting some more in (I hope so, they're great),
|
demon twats stock them at simular price
|
Mine came today from Demon Tweeks, RC-6 compound for the sti £111 inc vat, about £7 more than Godspeed but i couldn't wait 2 weeks.
I will probably just fit them for trackdays and keep the PF Z rated pads in for the road. |
