Jetto Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Evening, what's the consensus on brake pad specs for a 260bhp Vauxhall XE S3 Caterham used predominately for hillclimbs/sprints. It will however remain road legal with the occasional track day.I think it's got Performance Friction PF01 pads currently but I'm renewing discs all round as part of a refresh so need new pads. I've not driven it in anger prior to the refresh so I haven't got a baseline to go from.Front calipers are the old spec 4 pot AP parts with vented discs, rears are standard sierra calipers with solid discs.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 You have captured my car spec pretty well identically although I do track days rather than sprints now. Brake pads are difficult to recommend I think as it's down to feel as much as stopping power. I've tried a few different pads but keep coming back to mintex 1144. I'm sure you'll get a host of different suggestions .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
