Brake pad pins...

[wtaite01]

Many seem to advocate for the Pagid yellows on the track (RSL29), I have been considering taking the plunge, but they aren't cheap, that's for sure! (c. £500 to have them on all 4 corners).

 

Just switching to fresh Motul RBF600 and replacing my rear discs and pads (OE spec brembos) gave me a lot more confidence that I wasn't going to boil the fluid or see any catastrophic brake failure on track though.

Sorry gents, thought I'd replied to these!

Try the DS3000 pads. If you look at the ferodo comparison graph info ( https://www.ferodoracing.com/products/car-racing/racing-brake-pads/ ) they have a much better heat range. They work when stongingly hot - my wheel centre caps melted. They were copies, but even so..

 

I had run DS3000 on my RX-7 before but they were noisey like the DS1.11 and also tempramental when cold.  Having used DS2500 on a few cars in the past, they are quite appealing, but the cost is excessive compared to a stock pad.  The only real benefit is that there won't be a long bedding process when swapping between the DS1.11 for track.

The Pagid RS were just more than I was willing to spend.  I got the DS1.11 pads, new rear pins, braided hoses, and new bleed nipples for a touch less than the RS pads alone.
