Pads

[V8VKK]

I have just had a warning light that my rear pads are low, has anybody any opinions on replacements?
Thanks

the OE pads are Pagid...you wont get anything any better without going more extreme track orientated, like the Pagid RS14 or RS29

however their cold performance is worse, and they squeal a lot when cold (most of the time then on the road)

so in summary, nope, I would change away from the OE Pagids

Edited for clarity I think

I agree. Original fitment pads are the best option.

late night waffle after beer doesnt always make perfect sense in the morning

really, the standard brakes are quite good, Ive done 20 min track sessions all day before on them. Instructor comment (after showing me what it could do) was that they were way better "out of the box" than the F360 and M3 CSL he'd had earlier that week

the Pagid black RS4-2-2 compound is what is OE, and usually an upgrade for many people with "standard" OE brakes anyway; so AM got it right and didnt scrimp in the first place

To get significantly better, for road use, you need carbon brakes and the sticky tyres to go with them ...like the V12...
