So is it the overall view to go for Black Diamond discs and Hawk pads for street and occasional track use. As I will be needing some stopping as my pads and disc feel as they are on there way out and cannot afford to fork out for a Big brake kit. I am running only a small TD06 so it should be sufficent, Yes?

Just reading thru old threads cos I\'ll be doing discs and pads soon.

Clive, I had Ferodo front pads on my last FD so they must be available? Couldn\'t get rears tho.   Now have EBC pads all round and they have taken some heavy road use/abuse and coped very well!  Thinking about trying Hawk next tho.

Hi Trev,

We deal direct with Ferodo Racing and can\'t get a pad for the FD sadly :confused:

Do the Hawk pads leave brake dust ? I have standard Mazda pads on at the mo I think that came when I got the car, they make the alloys absolutely filthy.

I know Greenstuff pads stop this from happening. Do the Hawk ones ?

Hey Clive,
I got them for a stock brake set up on a 94 FD.
A guy called Harry Parkes (used to run a motor spares shop in London, now here) seems to be able to find anything lol.
I\'ve dug out the reciept and item number was FDB483 or ADM54248, dont know if that means anything to you?

The Hawks on mine dust like it\'s going out of style.  Superb pads though.  Buy black wheels.

Cheers Trev,

We have been trying of and on to get somthing like a DS2500 compound
in Ferodo as an upgrade of the stock pads.

p.s. we stopped selling Hawk unless the customer  is going on track or  specifically requests them due to the dust issue with ALL Hawks.

This came about after a customer complaint where a guy brought Hawks after being told "every time you go down the road you will wipe your finger on the rim and it will be black"

We don\'t like the thought of unhappy customers so in spite of the warning we gave the guy the money back and sold him Black Diamond pads instead!


Kind Regards
Clive

We stock all Hawk pads, as they are very good for track use, some are more dusty than others but not all Hawk are that bad, not more than some other makes, HP plus are not a bad fast road pad, with not to much dust, HT10\'s are superb track pads but dust like crazy, you need to know what you want to do with the car, Black Diamond Preditors wont be any cop on track.
Ferodo do make pads for an FD as I posted 3 weeks ago I was talking to someone about them, both their pads are fast rd, no track pads as yet Im affraid. Again in stock, as of next week.

All on my site, delivery generally a couple of days.
