Brake pad options...

Postby tangcla » Wed Mar 05, 2008 8:53 am

Looking for some replacement brake pads soon, currently have Ferodo DS2000. Looking for something that stops well from cold, and doesn't dust much. (Does such a paradox exist? :D)

Have you tried cutting a hole through the floor and using your feet to stop the car? Just like the Flinestones? :biggrin:

I tried that when I got a 'DANGER TO MANIFOLD' error when I was datalogging with my laptop. It also dusted a lot. It was red dust, and then it became very difficult to press on the accelerator.

I also noticed I experienced negative growth in height after that. I hope it's only temporary.

Hey Trieu, are your brakes in yet? You should give Phat a call to find out.

Green is for street, red is for track. Red needs to warm up.
