hackin_n_bashin Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'm currently looking to change all the brake pads on the car. Have been running EBC Yellostuff Pads all round, which to be honest, were good, but have just bedded in the fronts (300 miles, mainly motorway) and the rears are halfway through their lives (been on 18 months ish). Now they seem to have lost their bite, and am using a lot more pedal for the same braking in the car. Will be ringing Paul up in the morning to order some Porterfield R4S pads for the rear, but I'm running Hi-Spec Monster 4's up front, and need some info on pads available. The Yellostuff were DP4002R's, and Hi-Spec list a few different makes and models here; Monster 4 & 6 Racing R132-4 & R132-6 Part Number, Make/Compound Price (£) Excl. Vat PADDP2002, EBC Greenstuff DP 2002, £44.01 PADDP3002, EBC Redstuff DP 3002C, £54.24 PADDP4002, EBC Yellowstuff DP 4002, £52.68 PADDP5002, EBC Bluestuff DP 5002, £57.95 PADFRP216H, Ferodo DS2500 FRP 216H, £108.29 PADFRP216R, Ferodo DS3000 FRP 216R, £116.58 PADMDB129244, Mintex 1144 MDB 1292, £72.24 PADMDB129255, Mintex 1155 MDB 1292, £92.06 PADMDB129266, Mintex 1166 MDB 1292, £95.81 PAD7767971744, Performance Friction 97 7767.97.17.44, £139.50 PAD7767071744, Performance Friction 01 7767.01.17.44, £139.50 PADE1361RS42, Pagid Blue RS4-2 E 1361, £129.00 PADE1361RS14, Pagid Black RS14 E 1361, POA PADE1361RS19 or 29, Pagid Yellow RS19 or RS29 E 1361, £162.00 Does anyone know anything about the other pads, excluding the EBC ones, or any alternatives I could use.

monsween Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I phoned up hi-spec and ordered Ferodo DS3000's and find them very good. with my mega-monster 6pot set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackin_n_bashin Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Cheers mate, they seem to have a very good friction coefficient, but when I checked them out it says not for road use. Couldn't find any temp details for them though. Was looking at the Pagid's, but have seen they smell harsh after a good drive, and not sure about the carbon based "Black" models, whether they are suitable for normal discs, and what effect they'd have on the paint from the dust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsween Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Well aslong as the Cw pads fit the caliper i may go Cw if this lot does t hold up. I'll be getting cw pads for the rear this year regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I can supply Porterfield R4S for street use if needed, just waiting for a price back from them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Does he do them in this fitment? I have a template and dimentions' date=' so I'll email him tomorrow[/quote'] E-mail me the template, I am negotiating a much wider range for my fast road pads for 2011. I can probably offer what you need but would like to confirm from the template. [email protected] Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodalmighty Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Doesn't anyone use Carbo Tech on the Supra. MR2 pads were bloody amazing things (if a little pricey) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo2810 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 +1 for CW pads. I've got them all round and they made a huge difference to my brake responses. Not had them long enough to comment on wear but I don't care, I'll just keep adding new ones when they wear out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackin_n_bashin Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Just sorting out the template now Chris. I've tried to look into carbotech pads, but all the different numbers confuse me, I'm very simple at times! Why can't there just be a set number for the pad when it becomes available for different platforms. Just ordered Porterfields all round, Paul has said these are the same used by a few companies, including AP. Far to confuzzelling for my little brian.
