i have mintex at the moment(cant remember the number) which are fine but not what you`d call stunning.they are better than standard but i want the best. i will add that it is not a track car so they must perform in all conditions. so who`s got what,and how do they stop? It had a set of Chris W's fast road pads all round when I first bought the car. A rear caliper recon kit later and the brakes could stop a tank. The car is a Mk1 a/b - early engine & gearbox, late suspension & the later bigger brakes.(full weekend of track time) and I had to find anythig to fill the gap - went for Ferrodo pads which seemed ok. The rears also needed replacing (rear brake calipers got refurb with a refurb kit from Ms T) and because I was buying a recon kit (and hence at Ms T) - I put in Ms T pads. On the track they were ok but I did have to back off a couple of times at Brunty because they were running out of stoppage if I used them too much.- they were just as good when cold but didn't go off when they were hot. On the strength of that I ordered a set of Chris' fast road pads, disks and Motul brake fluid for the SC but it already has plenty of Pagid pad in so I'll keep them until they're needed.- but the Ferrodo/Ms T mix seemed to be ok - I would like more rear bias on the brakes of my Mk1.... Held up well at Brunty with no loss of performance.crazylegs wrote:thanks Si,whos this chris w then?
He is very well respected on the MkivSupra.net site.(quite dusty though-road spec are better in this respect)...........i was wondering if he did stuff for other toyota's/jap cars, this is good news!.........ooer - sorry, yes Chris Wilson is the Chap! He's got a few facets to him and crops up on several Forums, not only Ms T related. He's well respected by people on all the Forums where I've bumped in to him.(don't think he sells those though...but there again, you never know).

EBC greens are okay and cheapish, though its black stuff only for the rears.
