Havard Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 UK Spec Indeed. If you hadn't put the pics up I was going to ask you to drive at a set of red lights at around 80mph. Jam on with about 20 yards to spare. If you crash then you have J-specs. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Yep, they are the larger brakes (also available on the j-specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline1 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 You could eat a carvery off the uk spec brakes and a weight watchers meal off the J spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 certainly are UK specs - does not look factory fitted though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Not entirely true, the smaller brakes will stop you.... Once!! A train on a level crossing will stop you once. What is your point Abz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 A train on a level crossing will stop you once. What is your point Abz? Point is after you break hard once, don't do it again At DB on Saturday I had to use the gears to slow me down are loads of hard break in the heat!! Larger brakes are now on the cards!

FOSTA Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Another way to find out is too undo the bleed nipple and if it crumbles in your hand it's jap spec lol This is not my picture it was taken from another thread. But this did happen to me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larger brakes are now on the cards! I seem to remember Silverhaze having the same problem on the Friday. Ian Ian and I jammed on as the road went from two lanes to one. Luckily Silverhaze went straight down the side of both of us as there was about 20 yards of run off. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Saha Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 What you guys think of Pagid brake pads then? Ive heard they are quite good and seem reasonable in price. Any have good/bad experience with these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 CW fast road pads are the way I would go if not going for stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Stock work just fine and with a bit of discount should be under £100 for the front and rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 agreed chris wilson or stock for brake pads took me a couple of years to find that out. ebc(stuff) are utter useless compair to cw pads, i did try some halfords ones once and they came straight back off after the first hard brake and then the second had nothing but fade scarey times.

Guest Saha Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Are there actual differences between CW fast roads and OEM? or even OEM equivalents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
