I currently have the standard black sti brembos on my hatch. Running godspeed discs and kevlar pads all around along with braided hoses and motul rbf600 fluid.

The cars been rebuilt and aiming for 400-450bhp.

Im in need of a good pad to try before thinking of upgrading to aps or something?

Any good ideas people?

 

A very good pad that would cope quite easily , and very well priced are the CL RC5+'s , these have very good cold and hot bite , much better for hard use compared to our kevlar pads.
Only downside is they can be squealy at low speeds , there are plenty of other pads that give very good performance , but prices rise

The RC5+ pads are only £135 a set for the fronts

Cheers Ian

 

Thanks Ian ill have a look.

Seems to be many pads to choose from.

Ill be tracking it possibly couple of times a year the rest just normal road use..

What do you think of the Tarox pads? I had them on my classic 4 pots along with the discs they were geat!

 

not a fan of the Tarox materials as they tend to be a little behind feel/bite wise

a good initial step is the PFC Z-rated which will cope with fast road and put up with track temps to boot and wont cost much more than the CL's mentioned above except you will have a full car set..........

if you want a more capable pad that is refined then the more track biased PFC & Pagid would be my choice personally but you do pay for the privelege

 

As Alyn said,Performance Friction gear is top draw and is where my money would be spent.SJ.

 

Been using PF Z rated pads on the road car for years and also on the race RA, need something more aggressive now for the RA now so will be seeking Alyn advice on options, but the road car will stay on the PF Z rated pads they are in my opinion the best all round pad available at the minute.

 

Arch i have used the Performance Friction PF11 and PF08 pads either would be a nice uprgade over the Z rated pads for track work.SJ.

 

Best place for PF Z-Rated? Can't see them on Godspeed

 

Speak to alyn at asperformance have always use them for brake pads top service and top prices every time

 

Yes we have these in stock , if they are not on our new website they will be Monday , we are adding new items all the time
Cheers Ian

 

What price Ian?

Cheers

 

Alyn is a PF registered dealer and can also advise on some of the Pagid options out there. Had a brief chat with Alyn and probably going with some Pagid pads on the RA

 

we are one of the few (and also larger) PFC official factory distributors so can happily supply and i know that Ian @ Godspeed also can assist........

p.s. cant speak for Ian but we are far busier than having time to update sites daily so simply contact the office for anything not lised

 

Pagid rst3 btw thanks alyn my pads arrived keeping Steven busy
