Which pads for ap's

[Has csl]

Hi ladies n gentlemen, I have 6 pot ap's on the old girl, and was wondering which pads do you recommend for occasional track use, but mainly road use. I'm looking for something that produces less dust. Thanks in advance. Can I just say, I was at Silverstone for a track taster and Cesil held her own! What a brilliant day!!

Most of us on here run yellow pagids :thumbs:

For mainly road use, I guess oem ap pads would be the best. I have a spare set if you are interested.

Most use rs29 pagids, I would say get a set for road and one for track. Unless you like squealing pads

Agree, squealing buggers. A fresh set will turn your rims a dusky red in no time.

Epic on track.

A word of caution on the OEM pads - do not take them on track and use them hard. I had RS29s and they squealed but were effective. I also ran Performance Friction for a while and they were more effective still, but incredibly dusty.

Agree

If you use it on track don't use DS2500
Or AP pads on the front you will get pad deposits and vibration in braking that may not go away.

Use RS29, RS14/15, DS3000, PF01 or Others that are suitable for heavier cars with hotter brakes.

Which are the ones you left on the car? The dust is like nothing I have seen before, I want to change them to something which will make wheel cleaning easier. On the upside, they are effective.

You might think that, they are off the car at the moment and I have been attacking them with pretty much every wheel cleaner I can get my hands on. Iron X, Adam's deep wheel cleaner, Autoglym clean wheels, this is after about 600 miles of relatively steady driving. Back wheels came up a treat but the dust on the front sticks like sh1t to a blanket. Any recommendations welcome.
Apologies for the thread hijack.

Not too worried about the brake dust tbh. I usually put 3 or 4 coats of wax on which usually helps cleaning them, I'm more peed off about the scratch on my bonnet caused by a propper nob. See other thread
