40 grove discs and green stuff pads deal

Clive, you say you\'re a Pagid dealer... Do pagid make pads for the FD? Their RS-14\'s were always an excellent compromise of road and track on my previous cars, loved \'em!

We have supplied Pagid ( damn expensive ) pads for BMW and the like in the past but I am pretty sure they dont have any pad shapes for our cars.

Privately the Tarox rep tells us that the BD product does perform not only slightly better but also does not suffer from the squeal that Tarox disc\'s seem to suffer from due to the amount of grooves they run!

who at tarox tells you this? I dont believe for 1 minute that a rep for any product would say a cheaper brand performed better than their own.

Also doesnt the rx7  just run the same pad as early subarus meaning pretty much every manufacturer is likley to do pads?!

[peterwolds]

had ferrodo DS2500 on my evo squealed like hell not sure if was pads or brembo\'s that caused it ended up fitting some springs that helped

[Cally]

brembos tend to squeal no matter what pad you run in my experience.

Sorry Cally, you can beleive whatever you want to makes no diffence to me in any way , I don\'t tell lies, just offering what I know to help people :mad: .

I just didnt believe any rep working for tarox would say that and was interested as to who said it...

Sorry I have had a look and Pagid don\'t make a pad shape for the RX-7 and I have also checked, no they don\'t cross over from any Suburu.

Phew, I just had to have a look to see if we had any Suburu parts were contaminating our cars, I can sleep easy now :Giggle :Giggle

Dont think Renato would be pleased about that then.

Anyone have any experience of the Brembo discs sold by the likes of Gotham http://www.gothamracing.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=100_443_107_318_717&products_id=555

I was considering it when I change my discs. I don\'t really like the idea of some dusty BD\'s mucking up my car!

[RedRummy]

I\'m after some new front discs + pads.... so if these are any good, I\'ll get these too


PS - My front calipers say "MAZDA Sumitomo" on them... are these the original Mazda OEM ones?

[Initial-D]

Yup they are the FD standard. If you have a newer car (98 onwards) they are 17" disc huggers much better than the standard 16".

[RedRummy]

\'94 Type R i\'m afraid..

So I\'m gonna keep the calipers for now and just change the discs and pads...
