And what pads are you using?

Im currently using using EBC blues on my boxster, which last 2.9 trackdays, which isn't great. Previously ive had PF08 and Pagid RS14, which lasted a lot longer, but cost twice as much, which makes it really difficult to stomach.

I've heard good things about EBC RP1/RPX, so tempted to try them next time.

Whats everyone else running these days? Any strong recommendations?

My car is a 50% road, 50% track car, so I really want to avoid brake squeal.

I run the EPC RBX on my i20n

They are ok and will probably last longer that the blues, but I don’t like the pedal feel. ABS kicks in at about 45% brake pressure according to my dash.

Are the pagids 3x the price? If not I’d go back to using them

When I used to do track days until a couple of years ago I tried many on a variety of cars but always came to the same conclusion.

EBC are crap & would barely last a full day on the front.

RS29 would last a year.

DS1.11 would last a year.

DS UNO would last a year.

All were vastly superiour to EBC and worked even in road use (to & from only) when required.

EBC fronts were around £100

The others always cost around £300 but with no visits under the car to change it was a no-brainer for me.
