Hi all

So just got a Hawk eye with 12K on the clock and i am told that the pads only have 2k left on them. So my question is, what pads do you all recommend for road use, they are Brembo calipers ( not sure if they make any difference??) but want to make sure i don't get striped up?? I want the same feel as the one's i have and don't want the race one's. I think the tyre's only have about 2k left on them as well but have a mate with a tyre firm so will ask the question about them at a later date.


Your thoughts.

Seen Brembo pads on Ebay for £65.00 I believe these to be good!
also Black Diamond (scoobyWorld) about £90.00. Have been told not to go for ECB meant to be rubbish!

 

ferodo ds2500's work for me.

 

2nd that

 

Will the non Brembo one's still fit or do i have to change the calipers??

Sorry i have no clue??

Mintex 1144's are pretty damn good , the 1155's are about as high as you want to go on a road car though.

If you like what you have now, just get the same ones?

 

Good point, i was just wondering if there is any better than the one's i have, thought maybe there were better one's out there that everyone use's.

I will have a good look around and see.

Thanks for the advice all

Just recently had EBC Yellow pads fitted by Zak at Mocom Racing, and they are superb at stopping my car, STi - 320bhp. I used to often use DS 2500 which are equally as good.

 

Yeah i agree with Mintex pads they are good, just a little dirty on the alloys though

I agree with the DS2500's.

 

mine killed the discs, im running 3g discs and redstuff pads there fantasic and hardly any brake dust cant ask for me

 

Pagid RS421/422 Blacks or RS42 Blues for light track use. Give Alyn (Stockcar) or have a look here Competition Braking Products - Distributors of Pagid Racing Brake Pads, ZF Sachs Race Engineering and Brembo Disc Brakes and Subaru Impreza racing brake pads from Pagid.

 

Oh yeah forgot to say the mintex pads i use are racing 1166's, no problems with them at all, and they work well from cold to

 

I've got Mintex 1155s but find they lack bite unless you're having fun. Now after some 1144s or equivalent...

 

if you got a classic with 4 pots i got my old set you can have FOC

i went up to 1155's and there the best ive ever done !

no fade at the ring at all !!!
