can anyone recommend brake pads???
Hi all. My pads are wearing thin on my MY00 Type Ra. Can anyone recommend a good set of brake pads. I don't do track days, just want my brakes sharper with minimum dust.
Thanks
Thanks

I use Black Diamond pads on standard disc's and they are great hot and cold,regarding the dust problem most pads seem to produce a lot of dust but the Black diamonds are a lot better than the standard Brembo ones I had on as standard 
One more thing to remember some of the really hard pads as Pagid blue and performance Friction pads can produce some squealing at low speeds which can become annoying

Going to have them checked and hopefully find it's something else, but they are good none the less.

Ha Ha.
Do the right thing and get them looked at if a garage fitted them. But if you ever fancy a go at them your self the pads are so so easy to do. Hardest thing is getting the wheels on and off

They put 3000's on the P1 before they started having paintwork problems 
so not recommended tbh, 2500's are good enough.
OP, lots of options for you, are these on the standard brakes?
Plus what budget are you on? some of the quoted pads aint that cheap

Yeah standard brakes. I have been looking at some of the suggestions and they dont come cheap. I don't really drive the car at high speeds so I'm not looking for record stopping distances. Just a quality pad at a reasonable price, I know you get what you pay for but my RA is being used as a daily drive at the mo and I'm trying to keep the costs down
