boab type ra Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Hi guys need some help with recomendations. I need new front and rear brake pads for my wr1 but don`t know if its best to stick with brembo or change. I was looking at performance friction but don`t know if they are any good, but if anyone can recomend anything it would be greatly appreciated.
arch Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 I am using performance friction pads on my race RA with Brembo's. These were recommended by Alyn at AS Performance and after Kames when I used them for the first time in anger I have to say I am impressed. Alyn was doing a group buy on them recently but I dont know if this is still going he does give an SIDC discount though
StrikE Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 i would say performance friction pads and discs make no difference over normal Brembo discs & decent pads. Barry & I done a wee test on the stoping capability of the two different types. there was nothing in it.

ali37 Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Have been running Performance Friction discs & pads for a year now with the brembo STI calipers and the difference is night and day compared to the standard brembo setup. Have had comments from AP 6 pot users that I have better stopping power than some of their setups and most of them plan to move to PF discs and pads next time. Also another for Alyn at ASP.
badbaz Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Absolute nonsense Well having tried them back to back there was no difference on a single stop, however repeated use is a different story.
StrikE Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Hey i never said it was a sciencetific experiment LOL
boab type ra Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 Thanks for the info guys. Hopefully i get a job soon and get the scooby fixed for the next lanark meet i will be gutted if i miss the last run of the summer
