CL RC5+ Pads

MKoop · 06-01-2012, 11:29 PM

Hi all,

Anyone tried Carbon Lorraine brake pads?

I will be purchasing new pads soon & would like to know the difference between these and Pagid Rs29's.
Heard that the RC5+ produce a lot of dust but do not fade or squeal.

Plan to do the ring & an odd trackday this year so will need to upgrade the oem pads.

I had them on my e36 track car. They are absolutely amazing in terms of stopping power and longjevity of life etc They didn't come with rattle clips when i had them and they made an aweful lot of noise. you could swap them in just for a trackday/ring trip but they'd be tough work to live with every day

I found the RS29's produced more dust than the CL's but the dust from pagid washes off very easily.

CL's are a better race pad, RS29 is a better all rounder in terms of practicality etc
