Im struggling a bit with the brakes on my mk1 rs, its around 365hp and has ebc discs and yellow stuff pads all round with braided hoses ect. I find the bite of them is poor and the fade quickly. Not sure if its the pads letting it down, or if im at the limit of the standard setup and a bbk of some sort is needed. Cheers

 

i believe ds2500 ferodos are what a lot of people rate, im gonna try some pagids myself

 

I've got the proper ford pads in mine, and they seemed alright on track, didn't seem to mind getting hot too much.

They do a 2 piece bell and rotor kit that uses the standard calliper. Not tried them myself but have heard very good things about them. Think they are about £700.

 

Try the Performance Friction Pads

 

not on a frs, but i run ferrodo ds2500 pads and discs on my frs setup fitted to my xr2, no issues to report.
i'm running 1.8bar through a gt30 on a 2.1 forged cammed zetec turbo, so probably similar power, so the brakes are used hard when i can.

 

This get my thumbs up, we are going back to carbon Lorraine's again now, can't beat them, but one not use them on a car that I like the paint work,

 

What are these pads ? similar to the pagids ?

 

High fiction pads basically mate, destroy discs and make a mess of your wheels, but by fuck there good.

 

Ive used PF.01 pads in the Evo dont rate them on track or the road, using FRS brakes in my track RS2000 got some EBC orange Stuff pads coming in tomoz so will let you no what there like

 

This is carbon Lorraine's mind?

 

Used to have mintex 1144's in mine on EBC discs and it was superb, destroyed a set on one track day though.
Found the standard discs with green stuff pads were piss poor.

Still use 1144's on the Saff, can't fault them.

 

Exactly this... I used CL's on my clio sport track car and they're simply awesome.

Down sides

They don't do big miles, or sensible miles even.
The 'dust' will discolour your car and takes serious elbow grease to get off
Probably TOO strong for an ABS Road Car in the Wet

 

whats brake dust like on these Matt?

Think iv have found my answer..should have read all the posts lol
