Best Pads For Standard Disc\'s & Best Pads For Standard Disc\'s

[clive]

The problem is, when I come to replace the pads, the discs will have to be binned or skimmed. If this is normal with Hawk pads (and after a bit of research on rx7club it may be) then I\'m not sure I\'d buy them again.

Looking at the Disc I am inclined to aggree with Mike that this is just the result of a very aggressive Race pad that has a very harsh composite material probably with lots of metal within it.


Main thing is though seeing as your racing with this set-up is DOES IT WORK ?

If so and you have no other adverse effects that a bit of scoring, l wouldn\'t worry !

If not providing your getting no viberation from the Disc\'s and your still worried try  HT10\'s, and with a bit of bedding in they will still bed into those Disc\'s OK reguardless of how they look .

Hope this helps.

Hi Clive,

I suspect you\'re right and it\'s due to the aggresive, abrasive compound. I\'m not racing with this setup, this is on a road car which will be used for occasional track days.
I\'ve not had this problem with pure race pads though :confused:
Anyway, the setup works well on the road (albeit a bit grabby) but the proof of the pudding will be the frist track day.

Has anyone tried Ferodo DS2500s on a FD? I\'ve used them on a 200sx and they are an excellent fast road/track day pad.. the downside is they\'re quite expensive (although not as expensive as replacing a pair of discs every time )
Cheers

I run DS2500 on my FD and have been very pleased, but this is with my Big Disc Brembo set up, sadly they do not make this material in FD pad shape

Will let you know when I have more detail, been working on a deal for a while now, meeting them tomorrow, so hopefully ready soon, but I will also have Ferrodos available.

Anyone using them already, would like to hear your comments as this thread has died.

The Ferrodo DS2500\'s are a good pad. Good bite from cold, no noise when cold, good heat characteristics. Down side is the cost. But you get what you pay for.

So we know people are using
Hawk
Ferodo
Mintex
Black Diamond
I only know of 1 using Endless

Do we have any other makes being used???

I think there are some that use those EBC pads. But I wouldnt recommend using those on a push bike, let along an FD.

Second that motion. EBC are for Corsas, Novas and Saxos hence their popularity.
