Ralph45 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Anyone have thoughts on this subject?The rear brakes are std Sierra ones with std pads and the proposed usage will be mainly road.The current pads appear to be bright yellow so without removing them I'm assuming they are ebc yellow stuff.A final thought is when I make a decision on the next set where is the best place to buy them from?Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beagler Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I asked AP if they did any softer pads and they said the standards fitted were the softest they do. I will be interested in what you find. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7 wonders of the world Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Mintex M1144 and Ferodo DS Performance would be the standard pads offered by CC as these are both R90 compliant. You need to be mindfull of the balance of the car to - do you know what pads you actually have in he rear..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon.Rogers Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Road and a little track Mintex 1144 front and rear.Hard road and Track work Ferodo DS3000 front and rear.No point in looking at anything else in my opinion. Pagid grab a little to fast for me.DS3000 work brilliantly in all circumstances - last for ever - particularly on the front.I can supply either or any other brand you may prefer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
