do I want red stuff?

[sprevett]

My Griffith has the Cerbera (AP Racing) brake system all round, but the brakes could have been better at my last track day. I don't know which pads are in (probably whatever TVR fitted as standard) but I've heard that I should put some red stuff in - any advice anyone? ta

Depends what you're after, if the car is for the road as well, but you want something good for the track, i'd personally recommend blue-stuff, they do need to be heated up, but once hot they're awesome. They do squeel a lot though, and tend to be harder on the discs. Red stuff is a good compromise, but the stock pads are just as good if bedded in right... you could also get your brake line pressure checked, a few minute job at any indie with the equipment.

My brakes are 100% better with braided hoses and the best DOT fluid...(dot 5.1??)....had fast road/track pads fitted by TCS and they are brill but can squeel!

Are there any pads that dont squeel

[V8Cerbera]

Cerbera rear brakes squeel with red stuff. They just have too much bite for the back end. I'm running red stuff on the front and standard pads on the rear.
