Group Buy On Brake Pads

[arch]

Ok following on from the previous thread. I have spoken to Alyn at AS Performance today and he is happy to do a group buy on brake pads and I imagine discs, didnt ask about them but cant see that being a problem.

He has suggested the following pad options Performance Friction and Ferrodo DS2500 or DS3000 pads.

If there is any interest i will go back and get prices. I know Alyn was also offering good prices on Timing belt kits.

I will start things off and once we have a few interested I will see what deals we can get.

Anyone got any comparisons between the different pads on offer?

Guys can you put on the list what brake set up you have and what pads you are after, without that info it will be impossible for Alyn to price.

thanks

I used the Ferrodo DS2500 front and back on the RA last year with standard newage 4 pots on the front and newage 2 pots on the rear and found them to be excellent. I have put the DS2500's on the rear of my road car now and have Endless racing pads on the front of the road car (Blobeye WRX). The brakes are very effective with this set up. I used the Endless racing pads as Alyn had some surplus stock at a very good price a while back and he commeneted that they were every bit as good as the DS2500's and have to be honest I cant argue. I had standard Subaru front pads on before and the difference between them and the Endless racing pads was a bit of a surprise to be honest. I had thought for a while that the brakes were rubbish on the road car but changing the front and rear pads made a massive difference.

Alyn has recommended the PF Z rated pads to me for the race RA as they work very effectively from cold and are very effective on the Brembo set up.

Bob you have a mail.

Scoobnoob nice set up thats the set up I was after for the Race RA just couldnt stretch to the PF discs at this point but will eventually

[scoobnoob]

It's the last one in a long line of bank busting mods, prob the most important one though, well apart from a roll cage :-)

Ds3000 are good but squeal a lot during town driving. DS2500 is the way to go unless heavy track use.

Would be interested to see what kind of prices he's able to do on the DS2500 or the PF Z's.

Not quite needing mine done yet, but depending on prices I might go for them now so I have them for when they do need changed
