Performance friction pads for AP calipers?

[_Nathan_]

If you get rid of ds2500 and use something proper on the rear the fronts won't be worked so hard anyway?

the same pad doesnt mean its balanced Nathan, mine works well, and you gotta drive it to balance it:hahaha:

[cantfind1]

if you have rear DS2500, use them and stick some RS29 in the front, PF01 if you prefer

Have just had this exact setup, and yeah its good but the fronts are overworked as Nath has said need something with a bit more torque in the rear.

Thats why I was thinking of going for the 01 up front and the 97 at the rear, plus the 01 will be better suited to the PF discs up front.

But then I could put RS14 all round but I think this will be too much for the rear and will lock up frequently under brakes.:smt026

Brake set up and opinion seems to be very wide ranging leading me to the conclusion that it very much depends on your driving style. Try stuff out yourself using the info people give you and test it out. You will come up with your own preference. Just read Titans brake thread (if you can get through it without cutting your wrists) to find that one out. Or (God help us) find Fuch's opinion.:bigcry:

Mine is AP's all round with PF discs up front, std discs rear and RS29's all round. Took some messing around to get there and may not suit everyone but for the way I use my car it's the best set up I've had.

I've got a set of RS29 lying around so next track day it will be a morning/afternoon comparison

Get the data box on the job Shim.

used 01 last year and they are good but no better than RS29 on track

i find Rs14 better than both on track

As a mate ... I could have done with knowing that 2 weeks ago ! just put RS29's all round !...what do you find better about 'em maestro ?

+ 1 but with AP discs at rear instead of OEM...it does me for the very few times I use my brakes... usually when loading it onto trailer !:whistle:

APs + RS29s all round - works a treat but squeals like a pig in town lol
