Brake Pads

[AndrewW]

Help: - I have a 98 Chimaera 4L. Has anybody any ideas about what make/type of brake discs & pads (for road use)I should buy?

Depends on what you want? I am assuming you have the 240mm XR3I items?? For all round driving you could happily go for standard EBC discs with Green Stuff pads for about £70.

Any discs you like (standard pattern parts are fine no need to waste money on spangly ones) and any good fast road pads. DS2000/2500 are the best I've found so far and personally I would not recommend GreenStuff for road use (despite having used it all year round myself).

Ha! Just mentioned the 'Green Stuff' a moment ago in another thread. Not keen; feel kinda wooden to me. I won't use them again.

I have a 98 Chim also. I believe the pads are as follows:

Front = EBC Red Stuff pads number DP3605/2C
Rear = EBC Red Stuff pads number DP3717/C

I'm sure you could validate these numbers easily enough if you ring around a bit?
