what brake pads for ap5200 calipers
Hi ime looking at new pads for the ap calipers on my fiesta, I have fedro ds2500 ones at the moment but they dont fell very good, they are ok when hot but when cold there rubish, what pads are good for fast road use, I have looked at the cosworth streetmaster pads but thats about it

I really like the DS2500
Try the DS3000 which is a more track based pad but the brake dust is like cement |

What could cause the pads to be rubbish Martin? The calipers have had new seals and pistions about 200 miles ago.could the poor performance be down to the discs?

Fair enough Martin. Could they not need bleeding again?

There's loads of factors that could cause poor braking, master cylinder bore is one.. Have you ever had them working to your satisfaction??

I changed from ds2500 to pagid rs14. The ds2500 i thought was a great pad. Good bite from cold but it wrecked my discs with leaving pad deposits on it. I dont think pad change will make your brakes any better. Maybe youve glazed them. Go out and give them death see if i makes it any better

Speak to Paul at Carbon Lorraine.
I switched to them, and they are far far better when cold and for normal driving, and still work superb when hot. |
