Hi Ted,

Try Tim at Circuit supplies 01525 385888. I had a set of fast road/track pagid blues from him before crimbo for £275 delivered. A third of the price of that from Lambo!! Alternatively Demon tweeks can get any EBC pads apparently.

Did you swap just fronts or front & rear

[mhh]

Do race pads give better feel, less fade or both? I found my SE's brakes weren't up to it at all on the one track day I went on. Fade happened way too soon.

Just a cautionary tale on the merits of EBC and Pagids.....

On my Elise the brakes were scary so I swapped the standard pads to EBC...they were 100 times worse.

Honestly the EBC pads were shocking, and after trawling the net they are widely held to be poor.

So I've swapped them to Pagids which I have previous expierance in a race car and know to be good, the brakes are now in another world.

EBC = Cheap, ok on a Saxo with a 8" exhaust

Pagid = Expensive but the best.

All in my expierance...etc

Just the fronts. Can confirm they are alot better than the standard Lambo ones.

I've just got some Fast road pads for the 360 today from Tim @ circuit supplies. Cost was £95 + vat for a full set front and rear. And he supplies the same to all F car dealers. Bet they arent £95 there

EBC !!! Your decision...

False economy, give it a week and they'll be on eBay and you'll be buying Pagids. IMHO
