Brake pads

[dipsy]

How long have your brake pads lasted i only got a set of mintex mdb1416 1144 in June and they have lasted for 4 months i did not realise the groove disks ie i have pagid affect the pad life so i would hate to say how many set of pads on the front i have had since owning the car from new

Gumball i only use the car at weekends i did not realise how short a period they have been on .

thats not too good then if you only use it at weekends mate.

1144's are designed for road use and the 1155's are specific to the track. having said that, if you can put up with the wee noise off them u should maybe try them?

1155's front 1144's rear is a happy medium.

£98 for the fronts

I had 1155 on standard disks a bit coarse on the disks .They polish the surface of the disk with the hardness they have great stopping power if you look at 1155 and 1144 .The 1144 are thinner pad .My standard disks on the front did not last long with 1155 so i will see how the next set of 1144 go then i might go and try 1155 or somthing else

I have Pagid RS 4.2.1 with standard discs and they seem to be holding out very well, although more expensive - also try Ferrodo DS2500's.

Unless you are killing your car everywhere, your pads should last longer. Try not to use the brakes like the old, shall remain nameless, 11000 posts of crap, on Scoobynet one who has managed at least 60,000 miles on his first set, not even half worn, runs on standard unleaded, hates modifications...some may knwo who I mean - starts an argument inside a paper bag.

Try phonign Alyn @ AS Performance for a good price on the Pagids - he is VERY helpful and loads of people use him.
