uprated brake pads..

[ecosseM]

rite all.. am out to try and find out whats the best pads to fit on a calibra turbo.. the most recent set have been cooked(slightly, dont know how ), so, aint working to well at the moment.


so, what i'm looking for, is your thoughts on what pads you either got on your car, or are out there for the car, but not silly priced..



i half looking at either ebc greens, or reds.



maybe even start a poll to see whats best... and why

[Mark1]

I got greens on the V6 and they seem to work well.

cheers... maybe see about a group buy with one of our discount lot.. if we decide on whats best all round... if your using your cally propperly, youl need pads every so often

I've just got a set of Mintex M1144 for mine - not got them on yet, but they got good reviews on various forums, so thats what I went for

I use greenstuff on mine with my Billet4 calipres and work a treat

[gazcallyt]

I use EBC red stuff all round, work really well when they have warmed up a little, feel better that the ebc greens.


Gaz.

I've just recently fitted black diamond combi discs with standard pads and that seems pretty good, and only 80% bedded in so far. Far better than standard discs already. SS brake flexi lines makes a difference too.

[calibratim]

had the same

[marko]

just changed my pads and disks. had drilled/grooved disks and mintex red box pads this time. hopefully the disks will last a bit longer, they wore out before the pads. Wore uneavenly, outside looked ok but inside had no grooves left on em(piston side). Before you all say it the caliper slides arent seized, moved easily. Must say the braking preformance is noticably better already. just trying to bed them in propperly, no heavy breaking for a few miles.

anyone got any links for a good set of front and rear grooved discs n pads? i was thinking of going with mintex,but i dont think they are grooved.

To be honest, I don't think you need grooved/drilled discs for the road. Just fit a set of green stuff (or similar performance) pads and that should be good enough. Just my opinion.

im after a slight improvement and a bit more bling bob
