atomic350z Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I'm upgrading my brembo brakes to braided lines and some new pads what would you recommend for fast road use ? I don't want them to be poor when cold either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobPhoboS Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I really don't like ds2500's. I don't understand why other people seem to like them, felt horrible to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Good for road but I wouldnt say "great" on track, theres as lot better out there for serious abuse purposes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 On the road when I had them on last year, pretty much the only drive I had that was 'spirited' (me with 2 mates in GT3's), they were quickly fading after about 20 mins. Believe it or not but the Yellow Stuff I had on prior to that didn't do that. (same set up, fresh fluid etc and even discs skimmed by Marcus) Make of that what you will.

GMballistic Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Thought I'd pic whore a bit. My vote goes for Ferodo DS2500 pads, EBC Turbo Groove discs with Goodridge s/s braided brake lines & Motul RBF600 brake fluid. Was a great fast road set up imo. Worked well from cold, worked fine for me on a track day with my 436Bhp Zed and wasn't noisy or too dusty either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 The Ferodos are very popular and a good choice, if you are looking for an alternative the Hawk HPS are a bit cheaper and excellent for fast road use and produce a bit less dust than the DS2500 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snjur Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) EBC yellow stuff in combo with EBC GD rotors, for me excellent for fast road driving. I still haven't manage to push them to limit on the road. Cold bite also very very good. No squealing only bit dusty Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Edited May 20, 2016 by Snjur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nievelc Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Once I am back on my feet I've got a list including the pads to sort. The yellow stuff pads were a world of difference when I had them fitted over the stocks and would have them back in a heart beat for fast road use. I have not tried the others listed but just looking into the price comparison: Pad, Price for all 4 corners, Operating Temperature (degrees C) Yellow Stuff £136 150 - 1000 Ferodo DS2500 £180 20 - 500 HAWK- HP 5.0 £208 37 - 650 So on paper the yellow stuff should be pretty bleak when cold but they appear to bite more than stock, has anyone experience between y.s to the ferodo & even Hawk?
