Pagid RS4-2s pad build up / vibration
rich83:
Pads recommend and bedsed in by Alex. No brake cooling. No brake stone guards.
Spent 2k on this kit and the pads are the weakness. At some point I've cooked them and breaking from 100 mph is horrid. Need to sand the discs.
tony_danza:
£2k. Ok. You're committed to these then.
I can't say how well bedded they were, how could I? But it sounds like they weren't sufficiently done or they're running massively hotter than the pads can cope with.
Need some temp stickers/paint ideally.
Leglessracing:
I've always used project mu pads after an awful experience with pagid. I don't like the pads at all! You definitely get what you pay for in pads!
tony_danza:
I've used them with no problems, but then I bought the right pad - I don't mean that in a smug way, but it seems it's easy to fall foul with them.
I run Endless in my current car. Favourite by far.
rich83:
I'm thinking project mu or endless, is the only option. Can i run then on my current discs?
It's ridiculous. I bought this kit because I knew (thought) that they would deal with anything I threw at them, and some. Bit disappointed in the pads. The brakes stop on a 6pence so they do work very effectively. Mike is right I suspect, wrong pad choice.
