crazycustomz Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 bloody hell,quite expensive but sounds like it might be worth doing rather then changing the callipers and discs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycustomz Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 can you refer me to where i can get some just for the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wezza9 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 this is where i got my mintex from they where DC2 ones http://wbs.msauk.org/trade/ShowSite.asp ... erId=QUESTpadgid pads also good but not the normal ones theses sell them plus DS3000 ( DS2500 are just a fast road pad ) Questmead sell too race and rally teams so they can get most good makes ring direct the web link is from the MSA and they will advise you what too get depending on every thing there will be loads of brake dust and its harsh so white wheels are a bad choice if you have them just warning i found out the hard way on my 309 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knight Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 how quick do these ware out Carbon Metallic delivers more stopping power than any other brake pad Multi-layer Technology reduces noise by absorbing specific ranges of sound frequencies Less fade, less wear and less noise when tested against leading competitors Unique friction material outperforms ceramic and semi-metallic pads in noise and vibration tests Meets all environmental standards - including newly passed copper limitations Consistent pedal feel stop after stop - No mushy pedal, No fade Sounds good!

james Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 METAL brake pads - wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngreen537 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Most brake pads now have a heavy steel fibre content.The 'more sporty' the pad, the less metal it generally contains!Carbon Ceramic pads are so good as they contain only a trace of metal / steel content, the ceramic dissipates heat transfer and the carbon is the organic material that actually does the stopping!RS4-2-1 is the brake composition standards ISO if anyone fancies a dull read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
