Yes i searched and looked in the DIY section but i found alot of conflicting answers, some post were from like 2005. Anyway i'm the new owner of a 1997 stag and i nee to do the pads all round, so if someone could point me in the right direction with where to buy and some part numbers for front and rear that would be awsome. I'm sure its been asked before so im sorry but oh well, while im here whats with the threads not opening fully on here and having to click each individual post? im probly missing something simple im sure but i couldn't figure it out.

cheers

im in perth mate, where about do you buy them from? it's just my daily so im only after every day pads not need for performance as i dont tow either.

These are good and affordable everyday jap pads available at VisionR in Perth. They have more types to choose from (Brembos etc), depending on your needs.

ACRE SUPER FIGHTER are designed for street use with sports driving in mind, with good response for cold start and its beautiful control ability, it is perfect for most street driving weekend warriors. This pad has its all best balance with minimal brake dust, can be use on normal daily and sports vehicle driving. This is what we call the Super Street model, and it is also Acre's new design based on their street pad technology. Super Fighter brake pads are rated 0-450 deg applicable rotor temperature and friction coefficient of 0.35-0.45μ

can never have enough brakes, RB74 are best by far, 175 per end. mine they modified the mounts of another pad to suit for the fronts.

Endless or Nismo or any other brand I get from www.rhdjapan.com but the Racebrakes RB74 are better when cold, hot, better feel and cheaper, and are aussie based.

series 1

Q45 infiniti front, R31 rear

We've got Series 1 rears on the shelf in Acre ($65), TRW Lucas ($69) and QFM A1RM ($119). Fronts we've only got in Nisshinbo (Japanese brand similar to Acre $75) or TRW Lucas ($79).

Currently working with QFM to get them made up in both HPX and A1RM for both the front and rear, but this will be 3-4 months away.

For series 2, we're currently taking pre-orders for QFM front pads:

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
