Sagaris Brakes

[Rocco1]

Please can someone enlighten me and tell me what other car manufacturer shares the same discs and pads as a 2006 Sagaris
Part number or what is the choice of most Sagaris owners
Thank you

I have these discs on my T350 and they are great , they fit Sagaris as well and they are doing a good deal at the moment , I use Ferodo DS2500 pads and they work well on road and

Which brakes did you buy?

[clive f]

another vote for Paul here to, new discs and carbon Loraine pads all round and it stops very nicely.

[billynobrakes]

Tried CL pads and too noisy for me mind you they was the race ones but happy with DS T350 stops great now not either on or off and great on track

[Rocco1]

The pads in my Sag have started screech and after a spirited run out there is a lot of grey coloured dust (brake dust) covering the front wheels and the bottom of the car
Is that normal?

[billynobrakes]

Any spirited drive, should leave brake dust ? On most cars I know but knowing me I am wrong

[Rocco1]

Never seen brake dust on the Scud Porsche or the Diablo (in a fashion)

[EvoOlli]

Did your other cars have carbon ceramic brakes ? These brakes develop less brake dust than the steel brakes on the Sagaris. These are like most other brakes and develop a lot of brake dust under heavy braking.
And don't look for brake pads which promise less dust, they won't work :-)

[EvoOlli]

....and the answer to your first question: The Discs (f/r) are prorietary to TVR, the pads on the front are standard for the AP Racing CP6600 caliper, the pads on the back are Ford Sierra 4x4.

[billynobrakes]

All brakes develop dust they must do as the pads wear down so there must be waste hence dust, even F1 cars with massive carbon brakes develop dust, if you watch them in the pits you can see them blowing the dust away and sometimes you can see the blooming dust like small clouds of black stuff coming out of the wheels

I suppose you could try and get similar ones that is on scud, Porsche etc and see how they are, would be great because my wheels are always full of brake dust after a drive out

Only the Scud has ccb brakes
Porsche is on steels as is the Diablo
Sag stops fine just never seen so much brake dust on my other cars especially wheels

Does the Sag have EBC pads? They are really dusty. I've got Ultimax items on the Box and the rears are dustier than the fronts! I've got Greenstuff items on the S and they are just as bad.

[Rocco1]

I have no idea what make the pads are,i only just bought the car two weeks ago
Seems like its a common theme brake dust on a Sag

[mk1fan]

Pads produce dust. Some produce a lot, some produce a little. It's not a TVR issue / related.

I agree pads produce dust but never seen dust on the this level (wheels turn grey with dust)

[mk1fan]

You should see the state of the wheels on the Box.

Thought you said you have never seen brake dust on scuds Porsche etc or am I being thick again
