I'll soon need to change my pads and have been told that Pagids are good. I am currently running DS2500's.

Does anyone use Pagids at all, would appreciate any info.

Cheers

I use carbotec xp8s , their expensive but their awsome on road and track and never fade

 

[Bahnstormer]

road or track?

 

[Brano]

CL5+ are good (track only), just the discs dont like them

 

[Bahnstormer]

They fall off the backing plates. Avoid.

 

[Bahnstormer]

PF for me. For track only though

 

[R26.R Steve]

Well I use XP8s their meant for track which they are fantastic for having said that their also the best pad I've used in my R26 for the road as well

I've used RS29s, they're a great endurance pad and work perfectly from cold - 2 negative points I found:
1 - they are rock hard, virtually no modulation (you might think pad is incompressible but it's not).
2 - you may suffer pad pick up depending which discs you're using

bahn, you mean the RC5+ or ??

i wouldn't use the Ferodo's anymore - at least on track. they've melted on my rotors after half a day @track

dont you told me Gusto you melted them after 4days on track ?

 

[gustavb]

they were about 4 days old in total. first three days haven't been that busy, but the last day - i was using them really hard under commandment of driving instructor and in the afternoon i've noticed those strange sounds while braking..

will be nice to see how long the OEM pads will survive with the same style

thats not nice to hear Kev as i have them on my wheels as well.. so far didn't have any problem though. just had to change to Castrol's SRF as they were boiling Motul's 660 constantly

I luv the CL5+ and grooved disc setup on mine.
After driving my TT RS for a while and then jumping in the Meg,it's the first thing you notice.The stopping power of the Meg is much better.

I was not the first to report this. In fact I only concurred at the beginning of this month when I removed them early to replace with PF.

and what pads from PF are you using? and what brake discs you have at the moment?

[Bahnstormer]

Forget the rest get yourself a set of carbotec XP8s I've been through most of the decent makes and I'll stick with these now I've not had one bit of fade with them after 5 track days , like I say they get better and better as the day goes on
