My brakes are in a bad state at the moment, not been serviced in a long time and looking at how bad the standard pads are seized, I think its pretty likely the pads are bent and the material is probably cracked.
So i'm gona change the pads - But to what?
I know the DS2500 come thoroughly recommended on this forum, so theres no doubt they're a good choice. But at just under £150, they're also 5x the price of OEM pads. Are they 5x better? I doubt it.
So whats my best bet for a £100 set of pads?
Car is used daily, so they must operate similar to OEM when cold, but i've also had fade from the OEM pads on the road; so want something quite a lot more capable during punishing road driving and track use.
I've not done a trackday yet, but hoping to get at least a couple in this year and my local track is Oulton Park; which is pretty heavy on the brakes.
What are my options?
EBC yellowstuff are £95
Mintex M1155 are also £95 - Maybe a bit too hardcore for road use? Read reports of glazing during normal road driving.
What else is there and also supplier names would be good as all I know of is Demon Tweeks and Camskill (camskill seems hard to navigate without part numbers)
Cheers
