New pads: MRC RS6 brakes on B5

Post by pj_sibley » Mon Oct 20, 2008 12:19 pm

The pads on my MRC fitted RS6 front brake setup need replacing. As far as I understand it, the setup includes RS6 calipers (with the extra cross braces on the back), RS6 discs but RS4 pads?

Can anyone confirm which pads I need to get hold of....RS4 or RS6 (or are they the same?!). Thanks :)

Pretty sure they are the same as the B7 RS4 pads

I think the compound is slightly different. I know that Doug recommended the RS4 one's over the RS6 one's for my car, but I believe that he, and a lot of people on here, rate the Ferodo DS2500 as being even better.

Great, thanks for clarifying that. So, the RS4 and RS6 pads are the same size / fitment but different compound. Who sells the Ferodos?

I'm sure MRC will do them, or why not give Philip Walker or Grizz a PM?
