Alternative Brake Pads

Recommended Posts

Had EBC pads of varying grades on previous cars and even though they seem to have got better over the years they are still bottom of my list. Think you'll do well with the Hawk pads as they get great writeups, I'll be giving them a bash when I've killed off my 2nd set of PF pads (soon I think).

How are the Carbotech coming along now Speedy?

 

Pros : They stop the car very quickly and they have loads of initial bite. No problems when they are cold. For braking purposes they score a 10/10.

 

Cons : They squeal like a pig (might be fixable, need some time in the daylight to have another look at them). From previous experience they should generate a bit more dust than OEM, but I haven't really noticed. Heel & Toeing now requires a bit more finesse because there is so much more braking power available.
