Carbone Lorraine Brake Pads
« on: March 21, 2013, 08:38:53 pm »
Anyone used these on their Mk5's?  Heard some very good things about them from a mate who has been rallying Scoobys for 20 odd years.

Yes, I had RC6s in my Alcons. They were a little hardcore, so I only used them for dry trackdays. With less powerful stoppers they'll be fine.

The main reason people use them, is they're fully sintered, so don't require bedding in - they just work 100% from the off. I'd probably get the RC6e if I were shopping now.

Thanks Tony, I've contacted them but unfortunately they don't make a set with the Tulip spring for single piston GTI/R32/S3 etc; which would probably make it rattle like crazy no doubt... if I had NQSBBK 4 pots or better, I'd defo give them a go. :happy2:
