Brake Pads Users Ratings Guide

Can't comment on fp3 but the sr for the price are fantastic. I had zero noise, low dust compared to a1rm and we'll priced. Also stood up well to track abuse. For your application, they are more than enough.

I have used all.

Why do you want to step up?
Going to the track?

SR is more aggressive than ss.

FP3 doesn't bite aswell cold as the SR. But handles heat and Wear better. I recommend this for track.

If I were you and only using for the street, ss would be my choice.

If you really want to step up then go SR. Just remember that Cold braking will be slightly affected

Thanks for the speedy replies!

Looking more to improve the feel and performance I have now with the SS pads, with the hope of throwing in the odd track day in the future

Having the SR pads on the back too, I'd like to match or better the pads on the front performance wise. The FP3 sounds like it's more track suited if it's not as good cold, so I'll just grab the SR's, cheers guys

You won't be disappointed [emoji106]

What Bill said. I've had both SS and SR, wouldn't do the SS again but the SR are great. They were excellent at Sandown with new RDA rotors too.
I have some squeal on the street under light pedal pressure but otherwise can't fault them.
Talk to Johnny for a deal

Oh hai

Yes I can do good prices on SR pads, also Hel + DBA rotors... I am the braking specialist (well I pretend I am) lol

[admS15]

Lol [emoji16] I think that Steve guy might have something to say about that.

Just ran into a cheap pair of project Mu d1 spec brakes. Anyone used these and how are they like in terms of dust noise and most importantly brake performance.

[Hadouken]

Don't they only make those for the rear?
Hence why they may seem cheap

[B-rice]

you're right i thought it was the full set

Had the Intima SR's on front now for a few weeks, they are really good.

No noise so far, minimal dust and decent amount of bite. Good pedal modulation under heavy braking

Street use only at this stage

I have Intima SR's as well on new RDA slotted rotors. Bedding in procedure was done correctly, but mine squeal like a pig when light breaking (i'm talking car park below 15km/h speeds)

On the road and under normal to heavy breaking they are noise free

I have Intima SR on the front on my wagon, it's quiet. Bit dusty though and overkill for my daily wagon use.

If it's a daily, should go SS

[niZmO_Man]

Yeah I'll get some SS pads when the time comes.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

you want DBA rotors and Hel lines too?

add a bit of copper grease between the caliper piston and brake pad - it helps

Bought Intima SR's from Johnny a while ago, they held up pretty good at Sandown, once hot they stopped awesome just felt I had to apply quite a bit of pedal pressure. Appart from the low speed sqeal I can't complain and Johnny was awesome to deal with

Power Stop in the US sent me a set of their "Track Day" pads.  Yeah, they're called "Track Day".   They're partners with Bondourant Driving School here and used on Vettes.

They're something like $65 and I think they're very cheap in comparison to what else is out there.  At New Jersey Motorsports Park I only had 30 minutes of track time due to an ABS pump failure but they performed well enough with ATE Type 200 fluid.  NJMP's Thunderbolt circuit has a two higher speed straights with braking zones from 120-130 to 60 MPH'ish.  The pads felt like they had no issues with the job.

After getting home and removing the pads, I think they wore down 50% or so.  I'd have to measure thickness but I'm not so sure they would have held up to a 2-day weekend and 120+ minutes of lapping.
