attilauk Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 a guy i know recomended TRD pads apparently they make j spec brakes feel like uk spec! i cant confirm this but they do sound good:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I sell a fast road compound pad in the UK caliper format, no more dust than stock, no squeal and disc friendly. probably someone here may be kind enough to attest to their efficacy? I wouldn't touch EBC stuff with a barge pole, my experience of them is appaling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 gotta agree that the ebc wasn't to my liking but am now using endless and find them quite good in my own non-techy kinda way ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Endless are superb pads, as are Performance Friction. And "my" pads, too, of course.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Porterfields aren't very alloy friendly mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatmerecat Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Got Chris's pads on all ends, must say they're mighty fine. Now the new discs are bedded nicely not much dust at all! Ooh and what I considered very reasonably priced too. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I run CW pads and they don't squeal at all, even though I've removed the anti squeal shims. I do get a lot of dust though, but that might be my 'enjoying' the car a lot after fixing it -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezabloke Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Id go with CW pads all round.......have had no squeals since fitting and have had less dust than OEM pads. Dave :flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitt Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Whatever you do don't buy EBC Greenstuff - got these on the front of mine and after one day of driving you'll be presented with grey brake dust alloys !! The thing is that they advertise these as only giving minimal brake dust - I assume they mean on the assumption you don't use the brakes and put your foot out the door to slow down !!
