Brake pads upgrade

Cobra · 06-07-2005, 23:05

Well I have to change my break pads on my RS and I was thinking of upgrading them. I am looking for helpful advice, do's & don’ts and what brands to go for also where to buy them?

ds2500s will always get my vote at the moment. About to see what Pagid FRs are like soon.

Ferodo Ds2500 are apparently one of the best pads for the vRS will be giving them a go when mine need changing.

Listen now its the front pads that need changing and the reason why they need to be changed is because I that to keep using my breaks so you would be able to keep up with me you kept getting smaller in my rear view mirror.

Perhaps only accelerate off-boost, and aim for that 'best-mpg' figure

Or was it getting stuck being me during overtaking manovers

I thought the Yellow bus was going to end up in my boot a few times

Surprised to hear your pads are gone Cobra.... I thought the feet out the window style of driving wouldn't be too harsh on the brakes

DS2500's seem to get the thumbs up around here.
