brake pads

Mlife · 12-05-2009, 10:46 PM

Hi,

question for those with csl oem brakes. What brake pads do you use and where do you buy them from. I currently have ferodo pads but have read that Performance friction pads would be better for track use.

Any comments and links to web sites selling brake pads would be apriciated.

I used to have EBC yellow pads with uprated lines/fluid. They performed reasonably well at the Ring but suffered at UK short circuit track days.

Gone AP now

I went from Standard set up to full AP's with RS29's

I think your right in saying PF pads are good.

As for suppliers try Thorney Motorsport or Simpsons for advice and supply.

I have EBC to with uprated fluids and brake lines. They are better than standard and they performed well at Goodwood but for lots of track work def a big brake upgraded would be better.

from my experience with EBC they are really bad pads for your disks and from what I've seen and heard its not only me that thinks that way.
There are a lot of other good pads out there.

Try Alan a Questmead, these guys do know about Brakes and not just pads

I use EBC pads and yes the yellow pads eat discs but the red stuff are as good as FERODO DS2500 pads

for 1/3 the price
