im not as happy with these at the mo.

when i had the 4 pots, and 278bhp, they were great, but after fitting my brembos, and have 341bhp, i get alot of brake fade. been told this blue stuff are the daddys, but pricey.

but if there as good as they say, worth every penny.
back to omp, when cold there not very good. once warm there very good, to hot. lotsof fade

The bluestuff are about the best all-round pad available at the moment , they are very good , they are £146 a set , not expensive when you price up the equivalent alternatives , and they do work perfect from cold , and we have not faded a set yet and that includes a track day in castle coombe in our 360hp EVO
The performance friction Z rated pads are a fairly close second and comes in at £129 a set
Have both of these on the shelf for a next day delivery
Cheers Ian

i fitted the bluestuff the other day, and had good use of them on track, and were perfect. but if on a budget, i saw a few popular branded names like mintex and such were VERY good value for money.
depends if your going to use them HARD, if so, get the bluestuff, if not, something cheaper will do.
