Piers7 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 I've just ordered a set of Ferodo DS2500's for the front My only other question is will the standard rear pads be ok 🤔 Or will they start locking up 🤔 Cheers guys Superlight #115 Edited by - Piers7 on 13 Jun 2007 17:36:17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrelevant Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I've got RS16s on my front big brakes and blue spot rear pads (Sierra caliper). I think my 250mm rears can take some more braking force so I want better rear pads . . . question is, shall I get RS16, RS15, or RS14 Pagids. They'll be used predominantly for sprinting/trackdays with soft tyres. I have a proportioning valve so I'm not fussed about balancing compounds.

Mark Durrant Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Adam I use Pagid RS14's on the rear and they work well with the RS15's on the front Mark D Comp Sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casbar Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I use the same as Mark, and have had no issues over the last couple of years and some 14 trackdays, they still work great with no fade. I run slicks as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrelevant Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Is there any reason not to use RS15 or RS16 compounds on the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnonut Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I put DS3000s on my SL since I couldn't stomach the price of RS14s and in my opinion they were fab. On track they worked a treat and on the road there was minimal noise. I got mine from Demon Thieves and even then they were less than half the price of Pagids. W.Nut .

oldbutnotslow Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Another for the Pagid. Are they worth the money... Hell yes! Hit the brakes and its like dropping an anchor! I had Ferodo ds2500 on my alfa spider. They destroyed the discs in 2 years and at £600+ for the fronts it was a bit of a bummer! Never used the 3000 so cant speak for them. Very happy with the Pagid..... 16's on the front and 15's on the rear of my Seven but I would go for say a 14's for the road.

Mark Durrant Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Adam When I bought my pads the RS15 & 16 were not available for the standard rears that are fitted to my car. Not sure on what is available now but as there is plently of material left and they work well I will not be upgrading them until they wear out.

Irrelevant Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Mark: I'm being dumb again . . . . they don't even do RS16 fronts so I must have 15s on the front. And they only do 14 rears . . . . so I'll get myself a set of RS14 rears like everyone else. ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david nelson Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Adam I had rs14 on the rear and found that the back was overbraked. See any of my moments on the 2006 sprint dvd. I sold them and refited the standard pads. 2007 and my braking was more consistent and a lot less unpridictable. I did think about a balance valve. but took the cheep option.
