My yellowstuff pads have been ok to be fair but will need replacing soon, i already have ad08r's which are good tyres and I'm thinking maybe just good pads will be suffice for the road?

Any suggestions? does a really good pad help braking distance and feel?

Thanks

Carbone Lorraine RC5+ pads AJ, absolutely fantastic. They are noisy and quite dusty though.

Pads won't really help with braking distance (although better pads stand up to repeated heavy braking better).

For the road, you don't need anything other than the OEM pads which are pretty cheap nowadays from Si at Hendy or Cox Motor Parts (avoid Tegiwa as they are more expensive).

The Dixcel Z pads are awesome if you want to do some track work, don't dust up too badly, and work form cold but are probably a bit overkill for road only use.

Thanks input guys.


Interesting Alex, I'd say with Yellowstuff but interested in trying something new, I'll put up with some brake dust for sure but not excessive.

I don't notice it to be honest but that's because I've got black wheels. Earls_f20c has the RC5+ pads as well and he brought the dust to my attention.

The Dixcel ES Pads might be worth a shout too. http://www.dixcel.co.jp/en/pad/pad_es.html Burn! Motorsport sell them https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/1086647-dixcel-brakes/

The ES Pads are great on the street (some people even use them on the track but we don't advise it)

The Z Type pads are a brilliant all rounder. Outstanding on the track and behave like OEM on the road.


Both in stock - PM if you are interested.

I was using ES pads on the track with no issues at all.
Currently I'm on Z type pads at the front and ES at the rear with Dixcel 328 fluid. Braking performance is excellent with no fading what so ever.
The only issue I have is that my wheels are white so...brake dust repaints them black after a track day

I've used type z since my k20 ek and still use them now on the s
were awesome again when I was on track at rockingham and initial bite in road is great too
