Hi guys, still running TFSI Mike old brakes here, any suggestions for good fast road pads with some bite but no track
Work required, cheers andy

I can't complain with EBC Redstuff (which after being stripped to get resurfaced with Carbotech XP20 compound seemed to be yellow under the red paint) for fast road on my Brembo 18z. Cheap enough and never faded even on track. But with track use they wear a lot, almost half the pad life per track day.

I've used red stuff and didn't like them one bit. Heard yellow are better

A friend bought Yellowstuff for his Brembo 18z and the compound seemed the same as the Redstuff from my pads. Just a bit more expensive to get. :laugh:

Ok ta, I’ll have a look at prices and check ATE, mintex etc
-
Pagid RS15 (aka 'Pagid Grey') if they still exist. 0.65 friction coefficient. Mental pads!
Yellowstuffs are like butter on ice compared to those!

Got ATE pads on the Porsche tt set up but thinking they're not great. Will pass further judgment when I replace them with pagid which are another cheap option :signLOL:

I'm sure those are great but too much for fast road use for most people, I think. They cost almost the same as my Carbotech XP20 (track compound) cost me. I'm using the Carbotech XP20 at the moment for daily driving and they also work really well from cold now that they are more bedded. Just 3x as expensive as the Redstuff, so a bit too expensive for just daily driving. :wink:

Possibly. I tried many pads and the RS15 were the only ones that gave me the pedal feel I wanted :smiley:

I guess you like them strong. :evilgrin:
I can't step by mistake on the brake pedal too strong while on traffic with my XP20. The car just stops too hard. :laugh:
