Hi,

I have a set of these calipers for sale. They have been stripped down and so need new seals and powdercoating. The lines have been swapped already. The pistons are serviceable.

I am looking for £100 with free postage to uk mainland (I'll get a quote on postage for further away)

It appears that Pagid doesn't sell the Pagid RS29 Yellow compound in the UK: http://www.pagid-brake-pads.co.uk/car-brake-pads/porsche-boxster.html
But this is sold in Germany: http://www.nimex-motorsport.de/?category=products;subID:183&sessID=q2fi40a40qr5t8scr333hfp890
So if you are after some great daily drive and track day pad look no further (not cheap though). As soon as my current Pagid RS 4-4 (second ones) pads need changing I will go with RS 29.

Does anyone know what temperature characteristics the Textar (OEM almost) have? I was wondering how they are compared to Pagid blue, orange. First to see if the difference (50e vs 200e) makes sense for someone that visits the race track twice/year and second if the Pagid are not so well adapted for the road (running for 10min at 130km/h on cold weather could put you in a very unpleasant position if a sudden brake is needed).

Running Textar, street pads, not dedicated motorsport pads like Pagid on J-hook rotors can cause problems?

The OEM-Textars are street pads. No comparison to Pagid Blue or Orange.

You want to save money? Get Endless MX72. They seem expensive, but they last for eternity.

Or Pagid Yellow

I'm pretty much sure there is no compassion in terms of performance when raced.
My questions were more something like for 2 times per year does it makes sense to get race pads or the Textar can perform at the track without such big issues that you start to be concerned for safety. And second do the Pagid need to be well heated to bite so on the public roads are useless?

Pagid Definately need to be initially heated up to 'set' the chemical compound as far as I understand

From then on giving good bite from cold for normal road driving

I mean initially bedded in not every time you go for a drive

[the bruce]

Rex will surely be able to tell you some words on performance of both RS4-4 and RS19.

From what I know both work fine on street but I think both are overdone when you track
just twice a year. Even the RS4-2 which work fine from cold are noisy when cold in town.

MX72 are quiet. They work fine from cold like RS4-2s. They last extremely long. Even the
discs will last significiently longer.

I guess the OEM-Textars will do the job if you don't push too hard on track. Take care
you have sufficient brake ventilation though.

Have to say that I am not getting much noise at all from my RS4-2s on my NQS BBK and no squeal.

[Russ_leeds]

interesting i have rs4-2 blues with j-hooked discs and mine are pretty loud, not a squeeling noise but tou can definateley hear them working (mainly at high speed braking)

Yes, mine a buzzing noise when braking at speed but I put that down to the j-hook discs rather than the pads
