Which Pagid pads for the NQSBBK?

[berg]

Hi guys, fancy a change from the Ferodo Ds2500 when they go, am sure Dave B will put me straight but in case he is busy flying/changing nappies/building a bespoke system for the veyron/ what are the main Pagid pads that are out there to fit the NQSBBK?

I think you have the choice from all of their compounds, from road/OE to the RS range. RS4-2, RS19, RS29 all possibilities.

sorry, I should have said, fast rod use only, no track work, so want them to bite really well and not need loads of heat in them before they actually stop you - one of the RS range fit the bill?

[jimk04]

I think rs4-2 would be fine, or just an oe Porsche pad. Textar or pagid?

Your in exactly the same boat as me! Found textar, brembo and pagid pads on eBay, all £50-£60 but can't decide what to get

Yeah, think we will need input from the Reverand Brown or at least people who have experience of running a couple on their road cars

For what you want, RS4-2. They'll be absolutely perfect

RS 29 are not supplied for the NQSBBK.
I use RS 4-4 (orange) and they are great.  I use them on track and daily. I even use them during the winter (and it's been a hard winter) with no problems. The brakes are performing wonderfully!
Personally, for street use only I would go for RS4-2 (blue).
For track use only RS 14  .

cool ta chaps, the Reverand has taught you well the force is strong...

Rs4-2 but only on a clean disc, that's to say either new or skimmed

cheers Dave, i take it you rate these slightly better than the DS2500?

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

Ds2500 is a good fast road pad imvho, it's quiet and performs well.

If you take it to a track and miss the warning signs that it's going off a bit then it'll spew it's rubbery guts all over your discs calipers wheels and sills and be compromised from then on

Rs4-2 will do both jobs equally well but on its own terms (clean disc) but at a premium £

Berg can you PM me please, interested in your stereo, ta

Dave, I will install RS29 on the Ap Racing discs after RS4-2. The guys from Pagid said I can just install them after those even if they are different compound. What do you say ?...I would at leat clean the disc as good as I can (no deposits however at this moment as the RS4-2 have been only driven on public roads with normal breaking levels)

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

Pagid RS pads are advertised as being interchangeable, the reality is a little bit different.

In every Pagid box is a bright red leaflet saying they need to go onto a clean disc
