EBC red stuff for R32 brake set up

[Poverty]

I had non performance pagids on my cupra and they were shocking for fast road driving. Avoid

[Sammy]

OEM seem the best choice atm, would these Brembo pads be any better or not worth looking at?

Haha yeah I've seen that. They are realLy good pads, fitted them as a stop gap until I could source some 450 Pagid blues/yellow but was so impressed with them it's all I use now.

And they are only 220 pounds for my 8 pot calipers. Result

Pukka Pagid RS29s have stopped my lard arsed 135i on its standard brakes for the last 12 months. 8k, the Ring, Spa, Rockingham, Oulton and there's still 2/3s left.... You get what you pay for.

Mintex 1155 Seems the one to go for, are these much better than the OEM pads and also how is the bite from cold? When heated it holds up well?

EBC pads = shocking! AVOID.

I'd sooner buy and run cheap pattern pads than anything made by EBC. Greenstuff fade at the slightest sniff of heat, red stuff are dead when cold then have little heat resilience, and yellow stuff........ don't even get me started on them

 

Stay away from ebc pads.  They wear really fast and wear discs fast too.  The ebc discs are ok though.

Stick with mintex, Endless, Ferodo or Pagid.

Where is the cheapest place to get hold of these?

Said before ...half price but two thirds the wear rate.

With my new found corporateness I've got the Mintex racing pad factory under the floor of new HQ, always thought it would Be a good idea to have a mini meet there and show people around.

Would be great to hand over some pads to somebody they made themselves in the presses. Keep meaning to make some 8 pot pads in Mintex F2R and give them to JC to keep him quiet for a bit, he's already saying the 362mm kit's not big enough!

If anybody fancies a racing brake pad factory tour and can get a few interested people together let me know.
