Hello everyone.
Firstly, thank you to those who replied honestly with their opinions on the previous thread, and have been helpful.
In response to the original thread, which has been closed... I will be trying EBC Redstuff. (as the cost/waiting time for the carbotechs arent viable at the moment, i do use them on other cars, mostly racing cars but dont need to make an order for anything else).
If i dont think they provide a better friction co-efficient and slightly higher operating temperature without significant downsides, i will change them for the OEM Textar pads. I am using Textar discs this time, as with the Pagids fitted by the independent garage i use (despite all being manufactured by the same company,) i am finding i am changing the front discs as often as pads.
I have spoken to brembo and pagid who make other good performance pads, but they do not make them to fit this calliper/car, which is a shame.
I am overhauling the braking system this time as it is probably due with the mileage of the car, which we have had from new, despite seeing no issues with it other than needing its due brake fluid change.
Now the next bit....
I use other forums, and as a 'newbie' have always been welcomed, and impressed with the quality and usefulness of the content, however some of the petty c**p some people on here come out with, often for just the sake of making a comment, makes me wonder how much this particular forum will prove to be valuable. This seems to be consistent across a number of threads i have viewed. Maybe some of you on here need a think about how you use this forum.
...also, i'm not a troll, i just have other things to do with my life than spend all of my time on here.
Thanks.
