kosmic Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Chris Wilson Pads. will be getting some shortly too and ive heard nothing but praise for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveL Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 dee_rz, I've used Porterfield pads for 4 years - they make 2 types , a fast road and track pad - track ones are v.good and fine for road use. Only drawback is they are dusty so you need to keep your wheels clean ( just read Petes post.... ) - the brake lines and fluid are a v.good upgrade as well.

Sharpie Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 CW pads will make the difference and if you put some S/Steel hoses on too with some good fluid, you will have a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dee_rz Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 How much and where can you get the chris wilson's pads from? i've seen the porterfields for excellent price so may go for them, thank you for your quick reply's guy's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I've been thinking about this recently too. I went down the CW, lines, fluid route too but I didnt get a chance to see the difference as my brakes were gubbed for a while. Would be good to see what some of the alternatives are, brake pad -wise, just to keep us honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 So far I've only tried standard, Hawk HP+ and the Porterfield Race pads - I liked the Hawk best out of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Above also supplied by Envy) i have the same discs and i used to use Endless SSS pads but i killed a set of front pads on track (playing with Porsche GT3 drivers) and couldn't afford to replace then at the time... they were bloody good pads though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
