New pads front pads needed!

Right, slight conundrum.

 

I have ridiculously squealing front brakes when I apply the foot brake lightly or at slow speeds.

 

So, I will buy new pads.

 

My questions are:

 

For fast road use, I was thinking EBC yellowstuff brembo. Am I in the ball park? These pads worth it?

Also, do these aftermarket pads come with shims? If not, where do I get a pair from. As I want rid of the originals.

 

Thanks guys. !

For what it's worth the yellow stuff don't come with shims - rather a sticky backing for the back of the pad. I've yet to try mine on track but wanted a cheap upgrade until I replace discs to.

 

Yellow stuff were redesigned not to long back and have been fantastic on other cars I have had so will be interested to see how mine hold up on the z on track.

yellowstuff pads are fantastic value for money. I bought mines from CS a couple of years ago and still have them. They have lots of life still left in them after a few track sessions and some fast road action!

 

They will overheat eventually but can take a serious pounding :thumbs:
