Cheers for the feedback. I'm less than impressed with the standard brakes but never expected they would be good after having AP's previously. It's top of my to do list when money allows me too.

I use AP's & RS29's all round and i can't fault them but i haven't used any other pads with the AP's so might give the RS14 a go next pad change.

But the AP's all round have been the best mod i have done to the car

Highly recommend them.

RS29 - Only used them on track at a wet Cadwell Park since fitting so couldn't work them as hard as i would usually in the dry, but my initial impression is very good feel with stable braking and they warm reasonably quickly too. They also bite with a fair bit more aggressiveness...

I have done a few hard 'test' stops on road and my eyes tried to pop out of their sockets with the braking inertia!

The next logical step will be to replace the AP discs with Performance Friction items when the time comes as this is generally recognised as the best AP track setup.

Have to say that my APs with RS29 alround, overmatch the Goodyear F1 asimetrics on the road occasionally. I didn't think the RS29s squeal on the road, but they do!

Do you get much noise from the RS29s on road use?

Nords · 19-07-2009, 07:23 PM

Yep, they squeal a lot, but I can live with it if the windows aren't down!

It's the same with all the Pagids. You just need a weekly 'monstering session' to make them quiet again.

I found that. Mine squealed during low speed braking - rather embarrasing in town, but stopped after a good track day work out!

.. or just do the bedding-in procedure again if you've not got a trackday to do

(that's what I'm doing about once a fortnight).
