had the tyres done today and noticed pads will need changing soon
wifeys been left braking again
ok its that same old question what brake pads to buy
and why whats the benifits of them

cost and performance of pads

 

The 2 most reccommend pads on here are Ferrodo DS2500 and Pagid Blues. Most people including me will say stay away from anything by EBC.

 

Ferrodo DS2500 for me, great initial bite. Not much dust either

 

yes i'll second that juls groved discs all round with ds2500 nice stoppers easy cleaning as well

 

Have mintex 1155 on mine which are very good. average on dust

when its says from!!! that always means its dearer Phil
got brembos on mine so £150 for front pads

 

got brembos on mine, but for some reason mine were the cheaper ones....... maybe more common (thats ME !!)

 

Cant your old rally mucker sort you out a set DS2000's? I thought he was the man for good brake deals

 

Mintex 1155 here also

 

mintex here also,with grooved black diamond discs

brake dust who cares lol

 

I have used Pagid's for a while now, but am going to try Carbotech ones next.

Alot of the Evo boys use these pads, and i've only heard good things about them.

 

cut a whole in the floor and use a big pair of boots.

 

I use EBC red stuffs, and havent had any problems with them, although I did get the EBC grooved and vented discs at the same time, so maybe they arent as good with other discs ?

They are very wooden when cold, but once warmed up give nice progressive braking ( I dont exactly hammer the car though, so cant comment on prolonged high speed use )
