Is it true that pagid do not have rs14 pads for front AP bbk conversions?

I,ve been offered rs15 for front and rear instead. Rs15 is harder with better bite from cold and have a higher operating temp. Increased wear on discs. Apparently less transference of heat to discs and more progressive?

Not sure if it could be described as "harder" but it is a serious high friction pad but won't last as long as RS14 though it will stop harder. Should feel immense on a BBK, probably overkill in some cases (if you're running normal road tyres)

RS29 are nice to your discs. How cheap have they been offered to you?

They have RS14 E1903 which are 1mm thicker than E8018 (which we normally buy for AP). E1903 were meant for CP5555 callipers whereas they make E8018 for CP5575 callipers as they are a tad thinner.

E1903 are exactly the same pattern as E8918 and will fit as long as your discs are not brand new. Even if they are brand new they wil go in but run for a few miles :whistle: (tried that)

I've nd 2-3 sets of RS14 and liked them.
