"Performance" brake pads?


Recommended Posts

Do people buy aftermarket brake pads that has better stopping ability and also work when it's cold? (ie not racing pads)

If yes where do you buy them from/what brand?

If no why not?

 

THanks

the old bendix ultimate was good from cold.

 

ferodo formula/ts2000 needed minimum warm up.

 

there was a hawk road pad that was good from cold too , don't remember the model.

Next time I change my brake pads I'll probably get a set of NS400 from Project mu :

If you don't mind some squeaking noises, you can also get the HC800 which are more track-oriented :

http://www.project-mu.com.au/en/products/pad_hcplus.php

 

These pads are really good and cheap if you compare them to other pads with similar quality/performance

 

EDIT : NS400 offer you better stopping ability, fade resistance, no or very little noise and work fine when it's cold. That's a lot of bang for the buck

Znoelli sell good performance pads also. Another idea would be to give ie Racebrakes a ring.

I have Znoelli's in both cars at the moment, they're really good, if a little dusty.

theres 27 Matches for the word "Brake" in it so pasted a few, soz did not read any links to see if they work

 

there's also a brake pad review here : 

 

which is in the Motorsports section : http://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php?/forum/65-motorsports/

 

(yes this forums has information spread out as far as possible to make it harder to find : and I hate it)

Better stopping ability and work from cold isn't impossible with race pads, just buy moderate race pads. Not serious ones. However even most serious pads only require a couple of stabs before they start to work. However that isn't much use in a panic stop situation!

 

If you want your car to stop better every time, buy better tyres. That is what generates the grip that allows you to stop better. Not fancy pads.

Not sure if they're still made for subarus but imported a set of A1RM pads off QFM from Australia a few years back that were stupidly good for the price, didn't need warming up and had no dust. My theory is when the guys in Commodores and Falcons rave about a brake pad you know it must be good...

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
