Pagid RS4-2s pad build up / vibration
tony_danza:
ECP Pagids are made in China under license. I'd throw those in the bin.
I ran XP8s. Excellent pads. Don't bed them on used discs, the compound reacts and it's horrible. At the very least, clean them with a garnet paper flapper on a drill.
rich83:
Would the same go for any other pads too mike? Endless/Pmu?
Just to clarify the setup here...
Ignore the lack of pad contact towards the middle of the rotor, that was because of the other F40 calipers (which didnt work) and pad size being wrong.
tony_danza:
I'm confused by the bell. Why is it alloy in the middle? Are they fully floating bobbins, or just fixings, can you see 'tell tale' movement marks to show if they're dealing with the expansion correctly? If they were set to different torques, for example, they may not be dealing with the heat very well and jittering.
Nah, I put Endless straight in after the OE BMW pads and didn't have a problem. Likewise with the RS29s on the one before.
I would pick the Endless ones, mostly due to the fact mine have done 22k & 7 trackdays and they've only gone from 16mm to 11mm. They may cost more, but by God, do they last!!
I used to do a set of XP8s in every 2-3 trackdays. :signLOL:
rich83:
That alloy piece is a 8mm spacer to clear wheels. They are fully floating I think, will check for expansion....
Ive had them quite hot only once or twice.
I think im gonna go endless. Where did you buy yours from?
tony_danza:
Sounds fairly normal. Surprised they're that hot on the road.
