Hi all, quick brake pads question

I'm convinced the 450 has aftermarket race or fast road pads in the brakes because they are extremely wooden but improve if worked hard and warmed up

I have no intention of ever taking the car on a track so want to fit some simple, original soft road pads

Now i know the discs are Mk 2 Granada but the calipers are Princess 4 pot so.....

Do i get Mk 2 Granny pads or Austin Princess pads?

Cheers

Jimbo

Hi Mate..A.P i should imagine..I think you might need the ones listed for the 2.0 although they are probably the same as for the 1.7..Ziga

Princess fitment. If you want Ferodo, the part number is FCP832. I've used DS2500 for years, and they're absolutely fine on the road, and for the odd trackday. EBC also list parts for the Princess.
