Which pad?

[jimmydee2007]

Got a ring trip planned in my 2002 civic type r , can anyone recommend a pad to go for?

I put Ferodo DS2500's on for my ring trip. Plenty enough stopping power.

Only started to fade if I went out on a 3rd consecutive lap. Doing 2 lap stints they were fine.

hi jimmydee,
to decide what pads you need, you need to ask if you require a full track pad or a fast road pad. what kind of tyres have you got on the car? have you taken in to account what type of oil you should use for hard track work?

lets take it from the top, what are the details of your car?

Avoid the 2500s absolute ste for the track. Use them hard enough and they smear themselves over the disk. They will then need a skim to sort out.I used some carbotech xp10 which were good but didn't last that long.

Really? I was using them pretty hard and had no issues. Grumbled a bit on the way home, but nothing a few hard stops didn't sort out.

From the top then shall we?
The Ring isn't the hardest on the brakes as i'm sure you might know, so maybe a fast road pad would be fine.

tyres-RE04/05 ,
oil Silkolene Pro s 5W-40.

Used to use Mintex 1155s. Not strictly supposed to be used on the road, but they were fine.

what do you base your comments on the ring and how hard it is on the brakes on?

will you be using the car on the road before and after the ring trip for commuting/ love runs/ fashion buying/ general spice?

I base them on that i watched my mate play on GT4 once after 8 cans.

PS, The car will be used for all of the above!

DS2500 are good. An alternative that I now prefer are the Pagid Yellows (RS29's or RS19's depending on how old they are).
