ulimate brake setup ?
Discussion
I've tried EBC Greenstuff and it's not bad. However, it faded quite easily when driven hard in the lanes. EBC Redstuff just wears out quickly (very, very quickly!).
The best pads I have ever used for really quick Mini motoring are the Carbon-Metallic pads sold by Mini Spares. They work almost from cold with no grab and I've never faded them even rallying at competitive speeds on 7.5" solid Cooper 'S' discs. Price is reasonable, too. The only thing I would do is to use AP550 or AP600 Racing Brake Fluid which has a very high boiling point.
And , yes, this is Cooperman, not an imposter, but at home on a Sunday evening.
Miniman, I'll see if I can find that reversing light tomorrow - I keep forgetting, it's what happens with age.
I rebuilt my diff today and re-fitted the Hardy-Spicer outputs and checked the cross-pin diff. Those cross-pin diffs must be the greatest thing ever developed for Minis - no measurable wear after 5 hard rallies.
