Soonto_HAS_soop Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I'm sure we had a traders section on this forum..... Also try a search, brake pads is a favourite topic, Chris Wilsons being a good start. Or as stated above, try Envy/Paul Whiffin or one of the other traders. They all got good stuff. Ben..

suprarob Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I,ve just bought from toyota £56.01 plus vat you will probably need new pins as well 89 pence each I think this is good value as the toyota pads are good and when at toyota allways ask for a discount usually 10% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 We do the Porterfield Fast Road pads for £115.50 inc VAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Chris Wilson's IMO the best you can buy , i use the fast road compound but he also does a race/trackday compound which is messier and noisier but even more powerfull , i took the advice of another member with a big power sup who does trackdays and steered away from the porterfields , i am so immpressed with CW's i wouldnt think about anything else , i also have Steel lines and have removed the squeal shims but if you do this ask Chris for some of his blue goo !!!!

Scooter Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 i'd back up Dudes comments re Chris Wilson pads. I haven't changed the hoses or put in new fluid yet but the improvement is massive for J-spec brakes. I've got the Race spec ones and they squeal alot (under light braking mainly) and as has been said create alot of dust. This is not a problem for me running 16's but would be a big issue if i had £2K's worth of split rims, as you'd need to be constantly cleaning them. Not sure what the dust and squeal is like on the fast road spec pads? Having said all this i never found the need for uprated pads when i had my UK car, and if i own a supra in the future with UK spec brakes i'd stick with standard pads as for me the performance is great as standard and you get none of the potentially annoying side effects mentioned above.
