Can anybody recommend the best pads to use for hill climbs ? I'm looking for very high friction from stone cold, doesn't need to cope with high temps as runs are usually over in a minute or so.

I'd like Black Hawk Ferro Carbon pads but I don't think they're available for the Elise - anything similar ?

Thanks, Steve

Pagid blues / RS14 or RS4-2

www.race-speed.com

about £200 for a set but they are outstanding also think about getting set of braided hoses to improve braking feel.

Pagid blues ARE RS4-2s.

Pagid RS-14s are black.

If you're doing road use too, go for the 4-2s..if you want ultimate bite and aren;t bothered about noise and dust go for the 14s.

cheers

Looks like the 15's (Grey) could be better .

I dont think the 15's are too good on the Elise a few people have tried them and gone to 14's or 4-2's

Bruce - I always get the 4-2's and the 14's confused.

I just need to remember blues are 4-2s!
