M16 pad options

[GT_lenny]

I'm running m16's with 2.8 cappa vented discs the pads i have at the mo are just boggo autofactor specials, i think moving to some sportier pads would give a little more "bite" sooo, what would you reccomend please add approx price amd where to get them -Cheers

EBC Greens or Mintex do some similar M1144 I think

[jamie956]

I used the sport pads from RD i think they where about £10

Green stuff around 40 pounds from anywhere

Mintex 1144s are the bollox, work from cold too

how much? where from?

Mintex pads are dusty as hell though. I'd go with the green stuff

Think its mintex pads that flord escorts got on his 1600sport, and they squeak like a bar-stool

 

Stop well, but the noise deffo gets annoying.

 

 

Dads got green stuff pads on the V8 one, stops well

3000 miles of moderate to thrashing the tits off my bmw my greens still squeak

 

I used Ferrodo DS2500 in my volvo T-5R with ap racing 4 pots on 325mm discs and they squeaked for 40 miles,after that they were the muts nuts.

a little dusty mind but i'd use them again,never using greenies again

[petrolhead]

I like green stuff, my mate swears by ferrodo. On the same thrash his will fade while mine are still going strong.

[marky4]

no squeaking and very little dust from my green stuff pads and they work very well

[escort21]

Ive not noticed loads of dust from 1144s and mine don't squeak either

Burtons do them but sure you could get them from a good motorfactors

Mine greens have never squeaked

pad fade or does he just need to change his fluid?

 

Isn't squeaking just down to pad-to-carrier friction? put some more copper slip on and they'll be good

[petrolhead]

I am not sure, that is def possible. I do know that I have never got significant brake fade even when my brake discs turn blue with heat and my alloys get too hot to touch.

I also have to be honest in that I haven't tried anything else, but GREENS have never let me down so I don't have much inclination!
