Brake Pads

Post by dino »

What pads do people use on here - i bought some from brakes int back in Dec but i'm not really happy with them. Produce lots of dust and dont seem as effective as OEM.

Anyone use aftermarket performance one's or am i best just getting some OEM ones again?

OEM pads are actually Pagid - if you look around you'll find a set of Pagid fast road, with standard discs there better than you'd realise - plus they're pretty cheap.

Black Diamond disks and pads are great for stopping power and doesn't produce as much brake dust as OEM ones :wink:
