Brake pads

[RSP]

Hi all, thinking on upgrading the brakes on RSP (Rachel does not like the fact that they are poor!!!!!!)

What are the best pads for the money and stopping ability?


cheers for any help:)

Deano recommends mintex pads :D

I fitted new brake when I had the surf blue mini, ( Power stop Brake kit ) from Mini Sport the kit including 1 pair of drilled and grooved discs, Fast road Ferdo brake pads, they where great.

I think te main thing is to match the pads to your driving style... If you get some high spect comp stuff they take a while to warm up and until they do the brakes aren't as good as a standard pad, which heats up quickly but not as good if you keep using them hard...

All a balance, I have standard pads in my Fiesta conversion just make sure they are good quality I use Ferodo Premium... I might try Green stuff next that come high recommended by one of members.

I've had greenstuff pads on all my cars, they're really good, the only thing i have found with the ones on the mini are that the pads are ment to be 'No brake dust' which they haven't been on any other car but on charlie they seem to have the normal amount!

stopping power is good tho!
:D

Thanks again, do you need to modify anything? to get these in or do the just slot them straight in?

Just slot the straight in. I run Green stuff on a rally car. Great stuff.
