Guest Garfy Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 What is considered to be the best brake pads for J-spec brakes running 3 G 10 grooved disc's, for fast road use and the odd track day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multics Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I use the same discs as you with Porterfield R4S pads. They have a very good bite. Some people on here said that they dust quite a bit but it's bs, haven't noticed more brake dust with them than with the previous OEM setup.

Multics Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I don't do track days, but on everyday use (lots of driving around London and motorway) they perform really well. Didn't notice any fade with the speeds i'm doing in my NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I would reccomend Chris Wilson fast road pads, there very good, almost too good when I fitted the back ones before I did the front ones, had the back end lockup before the front(in the rain ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul372 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 i ve got endless pads with my 3G discs cant go wrong am well pleased with them. i got them from gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 How about EBC redstuff pads or greenstuff pads?? The redstuff pads are a low carbon brake dust pads and are for use in trackdays or fast road use. Your best bet are greenstuff pads, they will stop you quicker than you think lol!

Thorin Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 EBC don't make anything worth buying, unless you're in the market for incendiary material. I've used both CW Fast road pads and the Porterfields, both are excellent IMO. Hear nothing but good things about endless too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
