Which ones are better?
I have had Ferodos 2500 mounted, now after inspection Dom mounted
the original AP pads, but i feel this pads are too blunt(dull).
I have to push the brake pedal like hell to slow down.
Now Dom says the carbon lorraine ones are much bettter.
Are they better than the Ferodos 2500 ??
My old Ferodos fell progressive, if they get warmer the braking gets better and better!
But if cold still a bit dull!

But the AP ones have to go!
Dangerous for my life!

Thanks for your answers

Could also look at the EBC yellowstuff, more of a road pad or the Redstuff if you want more trackday feel (need more heat), Bluestuff is for track only. I might do some tests soon on the various brands.

F2500 are great IMHO, especially on track. Don't know the Lorrianes.

I wouldn't go near EBC pads on a lightly servoed car like a TVR.

I tried Carbon Lorraine - they were awesome, massively better stopping power. If I were on the track all the time I'd keep them on. However, I'm back to DS2500s are the CL pads were NOISY as hell in normal driving, just pulling up in a traffic queue. Too much for me. I'm keeping the CL pads for future use though driving

I had red stuff on the Cerbera were good from cold and awesome when hot, not sure what's on the tuscan as haven't changed them, good, but not as good as the Cerb was.
