 :grin: muckipup before I bought my kit, I made a briskoda account just for your topic  :drinking:

After 8000 miles and about 600 miles on the track the Pagid Orange RS4-4 pads are almost done (I am using the JHook rotors). I will be replacing them with the exact same pad because I am thrilled with the current setup.

Yes and no, Mike.

One technical spec, two colours (at least in the US).

In Germany there's just the blue fluid. In the US there's an amber Ate 'Super Blue
Racing' as well. The diffent colour helps to see if you swapped all the old fluid out.

This is what I bought....



Ooops what I meant to post was...

Glad to hear it Rex - would love to try these out with RS4-4 or RS4-2's but the budget is a bit tight at the moment!  :happy2:

Guys... one question...
My pads have from 4mm to 5mm of "friction material" on them... I saw that the OEM Porsche pads have the wear indicator at approximately 5mm from the back of the plate.
My question is: will the worn pads (4-5mm still remaining) dissipate the heat like the brand new ones? I will shortly have a new set of pads but I am wondering if I can use the worn ones for the next week's track day and replace them after that. The reasons why I want to use the worn ones are: 1. I need to bed in the new pads and time is limited and 2. it is more cost effective to use all the pad.
Cheers!

I feel I haven't added any propper input since fitting my NQS BBK....

Since Fitting (with used OEM Textar pads, without pad dampers & without running 2L of fresh fluid through) I have now covered around 3k miles.

At this stage they are feeling really really good!  When warmed up especially!

I must admit at first from high speed I was quite worried about the numb / wooden feel and felt it wasn't effectively shaving off speed.  But they definately seem to have improved.

I have Rs4-2 pads in the pipe line, I have 3L of ATE superblue racing in the cellar and when the discs get worn will be plunging for J-Hooked 312s.
When funds allow I will get a set of 2 piece discs for track days.  I can get OEM Porsche pads for 75€ so will porbably use those for the road...

In hind sight, if they do infact make a difference I would definately use the pad dampers as at this stage the squeeling is driving the wife nuts!  :signLOL:

Service & after care from Dave as anyone else who has dealt with him will confirm is excellent and he has been very accomodating given my location (Germany) and shoestring budget recently!  I would say you can deal with confidence when ordering kits / bits from Dave  :happy2:

I had to go that way too. The anti-squeal shims work a treat for me though
