Title: Brakes
Post by: Sy. on August 09, 2006, 01:13:08 PM
I dont think i have much braking left in the pads and disc\'s i have (standard at the mom)

Can any one suggest good pads for road use and sometimes blasts down the motorway ... i am not looking for the monster brake conversion but if you can suggest pads / disc combos and where i can get them from . price etc .. that would be great . Standard size i assume .

Many thanks All :cheers

For general road use Black Diamond are good

Hawk HPS or HP+ good road pads.

Ferodo standard pads
http://www.rotaryart.uk.com/acatalog/Ferodo.html

If no track days are planned all the above will be good.

In my experience Forodo pads are top but they produce massive ammoutns of dust
