Title: Fast road rear pads (Hawk HPS)
Post by: rdfcpete 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.

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.
