Racing Green have a good website for parts:

I think you will find they are AP Racing so you will have to dig deep i am afraid

Rumor has it that Seat Leon Cupra R's use the same pad.

Doubt it as the Tuscan has AP calipers & the Leon Brembo (I've got both cars,), it's possible that the pads could be the same shape.

Pads for the Leon are more expensive!

i've got a Cupra R too, I am going to compare that !!!

Why not just get some Ferodo DS2500s in the right fitment as they´re not that pricey and much better then the standard compound.

If they're AP Hawk might have a fitment.

I've used EBC Red & Green pads on other cars and they have been consistently good.

EBC????? I've only ever heard bad reports about them. Have you used them on a track?

Yes (but not in a TVR). Still running the green stuff pads in my diesel estate and they certainly have more bite from cold than the pads in the Tuscan, with no squeals either !

I bought some Ferodo DS2500s rear pads from http://www.circuitsupplies.com/. They had AP calipers for sale for a Tuscan so am sure they could supply the pads.

Mine came from Balance Motorsport and I think were around 50 quid for my earlier Cerb 4.5 calipers.

used the red stuff on my heavily upgraded lotus esprit turbo
they caught fire in the pit on zolder (after about 10 laps)
nice for the road but not good enough for the hard labour
