Pagid are a good choice - not the cheapest but they do the job.   I've been using the RS14's but they're another step towards track than the 42's. They work perfectly from cold, the dust isn't corrosive but they do rattle and squeal a bit. The pay off is that they will stand more track abuse.

  are you using the 14's in both the front and back?  If so any issues with bias?

I did, for over 10 years. Absolutely no issues with bias or operation from cold They do create a lot of dust but IMO one of the best performing pads for track and road

I LOVED my Rs14 pads front and rear in my SC'd vx

good to hear the feedback on the RS14's - in terms of running on both front and back - was this via the standard caliper set up?

[Captain Vimes]

Yep. RS14's front and rear on standard calipers. The balance is fine.

Yep, along with decent fluid it's all you'll ever really need

CarboTech pads for me, use on the road and multiple trackdays, really like them

 

What CarboTech pads are you using?

[gaffer1986]

Thanks for all your advice on here, helps me make a decision.

In the end I've gone for Pagid RS 4-2 pads. VX220 parts standard discs. New pin and spring for rear calipers and new plate and pins for front caliper, anti squeal grease and front brake pad shims. Motul RBF 660. All in all just over £500.

Good to hear - where from and do you have part numbers?

[gaffer1986]

From vx220 parts and from hangar 111 I think.

[gaffer1986]

There is a link for the pads from hangar in this post earlier.

I wonder if this tool will fit when it comes to winding in my rear brake caliper piston:

Or these work fine

I did try to get some needle nose pliers but the shop didn't have them. I'll take the rears off tomorrow and see what happens.

[gaffer1986]

Replaced all the brakes today. So pleased I got the Pagid RS4-2 pads despite the cost, they work very well on the road and release with minimal pedal lift when you lock a wheel.

Oh and the most important tool of the day: Hammer or should I say hammers.
