jamie adams Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 my rears have worn very quickly, so before i order some more i thought i should check the fronts which prior to removal looked fine, but once removed look terrible, very swollen and flaking almost crumbling, infact i can easily pick bits off with my fingers. can anyone recommend better pads for standard discs and calipers.???

Myles Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Yes - Mintex 1144s work and last well on the fronts - and can be had for around £30ish for the axle-set (bit more from CC). The rears can be left as standard - otherwise you can end up with the problems I've now got with my brake upgrade - too much rear braking effort - and that ain't fun if you find yourself needing to brake mid-corner... 😳 Project Scope-Creep is live...

Myles Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Trident (IIRC) at Silverstone. They're on the web, were quite cheap. Do a quick search in techtalk going back over 2 years...

Simon Young Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Sorry to hijack this posting, but would Mintex 1155s on the front be OK with regular standard issue pads on rear? I've had racing pads on both front and rear and experienced more brake bias towards the rear 😳 and want to get it more to the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Simon Hi, from my limited knowledge and from reading other posts on the subject, 1155s for normal road might not warm up enough to work properly? I suspect if you are a heavy track user they will be fine. Ian VX Power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
