hi all.

im chasing some good quality pads that arent going to ware out fast or be crap on the track.

i only really know where to get bendix and EBC pads cheap. i can actualy get bendix really cheap so i may just keep chucking them in.

ive heard good things about the project Mu stuff but cant find a place that sells the.

thanks damo

the most progressive pad you will find is pagid. perfect package for gtst would be pagid black front and pagid orange rear, but you need to allow almost 1k for pads alone, plus install some ducting to the front.

hawk come on too hard and too quick and will result in you flat spotting tyres if pushing hard without abs until you get the hang of them. they will give you a good 15 laps at symmons on standard rotors though, and after that the front rotors run out of heat range and you'll boil fluid.

any ceramic compound would be good at the track in a skyline with standard brakes thanks to the small rotor size and you'll get them upto temp quick... but last thing you'd want for a hillclimb as they will struggle to work on the first hair pin at collinsvale... i left some ebc yellow ceramics in the gtr the last time i ran it there and they were terrible at both hair pins, even when i blocked up the ducting as they just werent warm enough.

for a cheap option if you didn't do more than four laps of symmons or seven of basky is bendix ulitmate... cheap too and available everywhere. they'll put up with runing that number of laps around 62sec laps with ducting into the rotor veins (ditch the backing plate).

bms sell pagid, ferrodo, endless, project mu and hawk... but the trick is finding the right pad for the car, the driver, the brake package and purpose the car is being used for.

well i am going to start with the cheaper Hawk pads, as mainly they cater to my needs best. i only need somthing that will last 4 laps. club days for now but can also worm up quick for drifting. thus ive been advised the Hawks. ive never heard a good thing about EBC except from the people that sell them.

PM me a price on some pads stu.

ebc aren't terrible, but you need to pick the right pad for the car... i've seen red and yellow completely melt one car, but work awesome on another.

will check pricing damo... there are obviously different compounds to reduce the bite but still work well. what weight is your car and how much power?
