Performance Friction Pads!!

[APSCSL22]

was at silverstone yesterday goldtrack day, the car was amazing as always and also the weather was outstanding, had my new performanace friction pads on (standard discs) and they did the job with ease, they are also cheaper than the pagid's. so if anyone was wondering how they are>?? They are worth buying after your pagid's wear out lol.

next upgrade is the Performance Friction Discs and Calipers All round !!!!!

ready for next season :thumbs:

I have these on my CSL too with Stock callipers and I was wondering what they are like when used in anger :smt093. HAPPY to hear they work well on the Track as they seem V.good on Fast Roads :thumbs: At £54 + VAT they are cheeper then the EDC Green Stuff pads on my E39 Touring :bigcry:

[APSCSL22]

yes these pads coped with everything including stowe corner which is after hangar straight braking from 145MPH to 60 and they were brill.

£54? not for PF01 surely?

PF Z Track Day front pad set E46 M3 & CSL, part number: 0394.11 @ £54 + 15% VAT from C0-ordSport Ltd/PartBox Express www.part-box.co.uk as written on the invoice dated 23 Sep 2008.

Not the proper compound then I'm lead to believe that PF01 is the one to go for.

So who's leading you to believe that then ? :hahaha: Any thoughts on EBC GREEN or RED stuff pads for the standard CSL caliper/disc set up ? :whistle:

All the people that track it along with of course me old mate Fuchs

I wouldn't put EBC pads on a pushbike let alone a moderately fast yet heavy car.

[shimmy]

I've seen PF Z fall apart on a trackday so be wary. PF01 are comparable to RS29. Last me about 4 trackdays per set at £200 so if PF Z work at £60 that's a great find but my gut feeling without trying to be patronising is that they will not cope with the heat and either disintegrate or wear at a very fast rate.

But worth keeping an eye out to check their progress!

Are the EBC pads really that BAD ! I've had them on quiet a few Golfs (MK2, MK3 & MK4) and they coped very well, even at the RING. What gives, has anyone on here actually tried them or am I going to have to be the first one to try ?

now this is my last word on the subject incase Fuch's radar picks it up but the RING is not hard on brakes like a UK track, def not like Bedford, Anglesey, Donington, Snetterton.

A nice generous piece fo Edam will stop you at the Ring

LOL !!! :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha: I'm in full agreement with you that the Ring isn't that hard on brakes so a standard set up with semi decent HOT pads (even EBC Reds) should be fine. A lot of short, UK Tracks however are brake killers :bigcry: Should I just bit the bullet and "AP" my CSL ? and does BREMBO do a big brake kit for our cars ? :whistle:
