Default Pads

Hi all,

Right i have some CL5+ pads in at the moment that I did use for my last track day and they performed brilliantly. The thing is the brake squeal under low braking it driving me nuts so am looking for another set to use that can take more of a beating than kelvar pads.

So what would you guys recommend? not worried about high brake dust just dont want them being noisy but want the to be able to take a bit of a pasting. I will most probably use the CL5+ pads for track if I do it again next year.

Cheers all Greg

I used Porterfield RS4's which was a suggestion from Garage Whifbitz in Caldicot.
To be honest they fit my requirements perfectly as a fast road pad with plenty of grip, no squeal and no flaming dust! Pretty reasonable as well
