Hi guys...

I need some new rear brake pads... so for a change I thought I'd ask for your opinions...

What does everyone suggest.. I'll need them to survive track days (even though the rears do squat).

I have the crappy single pot rear calipers. But we'll so for how long..

Jay.
I've always used basic pads in the rear without any problems. Cost about £25 a set and last at least four or five meets.

Like Stef, I use standard pads. I've tried Pagid Fast Road and Mintex but they dont last as long and (in my limited experience) dont seem to make much difference.
