Brake Pads.
 
Ok before I get flamed I did search and it returned a load of crap

So.
Im looking at new brake pads.
I have 04 rex 4f/2r pots.
At the moment I get bad brake fade all of the time from 150+
currently have bendix ultimates on the front and not sure about the rears.
What would you recommend for mostly daily driving with the occasional cruise thru the hills and light track work and at what cost.
rotors are currently stck and looking at upgrading those also.

go buy yourself ebc green stuff...perfect for a daily with plenty of power...i paid 150 trade price...but they retail for $260

i found that the ebc pads had alot more grip then the bendix ultimate

Get some decent discs Dba, project mu, Protex or Rda slotteds.

EBC greens for $150 trade? Who through? ABS?....Sounds like the list price for their high temp lucas pads.


My ebc greens are still going after 15,000 km including numerous hills runs, 2 x AHG & a Collie track day....I did burn the paint off the protex front disc hats though lol!....$220 trade trough Marfleet.

Had these with my 4/2 set up on the bus. Pulled up great and cheep cheep.

No 4/2 pot set up is going to be fade resistant at 150km+ stops, especially after a few in a row.

Adam at tuspeed is great to deal with and will have them at your door within 2 days. If you spend enough you can usually bargain with the postage...
