Fast road rear pads (Hawk HPS)
« on: February 27, 2014, 11:13:34 pm »
Running Hawk HPS fast road pads at the front on the Audi and they're plenty good enough.

What's a good upgrade for the rear pads under £100 to partner the Hawk HPS pads?
The Fedoros are quite pricey and perhaps on the rear won't be as effective as having them all round or at the front.

Where should I put my money for light track use/fast road use?

Car is an MY10 Audi A3  2.0 CR170 TDI running stage 1 revo and running standard discs/calipers/hoses etc...

Thanks.
Pete

Factoid: Lots of cup cars run standard pads....only becomes an issue after a few hours apparently

I got front mintex1144 for 100 quid so rears should be cheaper.

Never had any bother with genuine pads, seen a few sets of genuine discs warp though.
2005 VW Bora TDI 130 Highline auto. Current mods: 5.5lt washer bottle & black and aluminium A/C knobs & 312mm front brakes and 256mm vented rear brakes.
Next: turborevs SMIC, 20vt pancake pipe and silicone connectors.
