brake set pads

hello boys and girls,


Right after fridays sprint day my brakes have had it so, iv had a look to see what i fancy an decided on this set up....

remember its just a road car with little power....

am looking at getting ebc groved disc all round and yellow/red stuff pad for the front and just a simple set of ebc ultimax pads on the rear

any thooughts on this??

I brought the red stuff pads all round with grooved and dimpled discs also all round .... i wish i choose the yellow stuff though as its a much better pad over the red ...dont buy drilled as prone to cracking ...

i was stopping away from drilled for that reason..

yellow it is then for the front think thats how am going to run it see how i get on with it?...

also in need of a clutch but i think i have one of them sorted now

Can't you fit evo 4 brakes onto a pulsar?
If so I've got a set of grooved discs you can have
And if you ask nicely i also have a spare set of callipers

I have the evo set up here rob but I need to build a bracket for them to fit on...

I was going to fit them last year but I know what am like if I put them on I will start to mod the car an it will end up like my last one before you know it. The car is running 288bhp at 0.9 bar an am happy with the way it runs altho I have had a look at it an thought I might stick my cage in it an stick some coil overs on it   

Making a bracket is cheaper than buying new discs and pads. .. And then you can see if you can make nice blue discs like the ones i now have on my evo..

But they don't fit under standard wheels so I would then have to buy new wheels I see your point as I have everything here to do it.....

I will eventually go down the route of grooved discs on the front with some carbotech pads, got black diamond grooved discs on the back with predator pads and noticed some improvement.

The brakes I had last year were terrible when they got hot. This year I had yellow stuff pads in standard calipers, not sure what the discs are, but they worked well even when they got hot. I've still got the ABS working on mine and that was kicking in on most of the heavy braking so I'm not going to get much better stopping what ever brakes I put on it. And I'm not turning off the ABS...  
So I think just changing the pads will make a big difference..

I may have a clutch Dave if you've not got one as yours is royally fooked
Try the blue stuff pads as there meant to be very good but if you have the money then buy the carob tech as there expensive initially but last much longer and don't kill discs either and the way you drive I would invest in some if I were you as they really are worth the extra

Are they the twin pot brembos rob ?

Ferodo DS2500 pads are your best bet mate. Redstuff & yellowstuff are crap fullstop

I've never had a problem with red or yellow pads in the past it's your calipers that are shit that's all.



I might get a price on the carbos an take it from there then..... An what do you mean my driving bob??

I've used most of the ebc pads and thought they were all shite really same as there discs
Best I had as standard came on the first gtir(or second) they were fitted by mines in japan and there was a spare set in the car too not that this helps in anyway as I've no idea what make they were

No the calipers aint Brembo .  They are twin piston as fitted to the evo 4 as standard
