As far as i am concerned and according to the german M-forum they were nothing but rebranded Pagids RS 19's but with street legality in germany but with double the price tag
![]() I would just buy them directly, i heard nothing but praise about the successor of the successor, called Pagid RSL. I run RS29, so the successor of the RS19 since a couple years, they work very well with the stock calipers. However they are a bit noisy (squealing and rattling).

You won't have the same grip as Cups or Cup2, and they will probably go off quicker, but you'll still have fun, just trash them and go home happy! |

So with road pads, you could find that your day would be cut dramatically short and would be a loss of the best part of the day where you were sitting on the sidelines WISHING you had fitted proper pads...... I can't express enough how braking on track is so much different than the road. You can get extended life out of your investment by refitting the road pads for street use and only using the RS29s for track, but I find that I get so used to the braking performance of them, I can't bring myself to go backwards ![]()

Chad,
Deffo do the pads, the standard ones are like chocolate, you'll probably get fade or ruin your discs with deposit as they will just smear. If you can't stretch to RS29's then get the PFC (Performance Friction), they are a lot cheaper than the RS29 and a worthy upgrade over OEM pads. They are cheap too: https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod1...46-M3--E36-M3/ https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod1...1--Z4-M-COUPE/ Ferodo DS1.11 are as good as RS29, cheaper than RS29, but more expensive than PFC: https://www.rosssport.com/Brands/FER...et-FERFCP1073W |

Thanks again guys. Better get some decent pads then ,, I’m presuming are all good with oem disc’s. Q will track pads trash my new disc’s As old front disc’s are on the limit of wear ,, obviously would prefer to trash old disc’s,, I realise mike said kill old disc’s.. I’m taking onboard all this information and advice chaps thanks. Chad,,, Off to bank to check my bank balance

![]() Regarding the PF pads, I have used them in the past and they are great (with one proviso). Do NOT under ANY circumstances leave the brake dust on the car / wheels to allow them to get wet and allow the dust to rust. They have a high metal content and will weld themselves on to the car/wheels, making it extremely difficult to remove ![]()
