Brake gurus! Quick decision needed!
Need some new pads but what's the better pad out of these two?
Carbone Lorraine Rc5+ Or Peformance friction Z rated?
They both similar in price, but I need one that works from cold and has good initial bite,

If it was my money it would be Performance Friction Z rated pads All day long they are superb for the road and can manage an occasional track day with ease perfect road manners very quiet and low dust.SJ.

Any idea how the Brembo Hp sport pads are, seems like they get good review on cold bite and good road manners with no noise ect.

That's what I'm after, my car is solely a road car, and most fast road pads I've tried give very poor cold bite.
Think I'll give them a try then.
Thanks.
