Wanted - Front pads - b7 rs4

Post by Tomc1 » Mon Apr 09, 2018 8:50 pm

My brakes have the yellow racing pads and I think they are pretty poor. They're supposed to b for racing , but I find them unresponsive and not great. I don't think they have the stopping power for a 425hp car
Any suggestions? Anyone selling anything ?
The ones I keep hearing about are the DS2500
I'm open to ideas, not trying to spend loads
Thx

Some a pages RS42’s on eBay at the moment for a decent price.

Is it EabC Yelpow Stuff you have? If so I agree they are not the best. However if they are ‘racing’ pads, they will be designed to work through a specific temperature range and therefore probably not ideal for road use.

Hi Tom

I suppose a better question to start with is what use is the car getting? Mostly track, fast road and a bit of track or road use only? It can make a difference as to which pads would be best suited?

If you just want standard pads, why not try the Ferodo Premier FDB4165 pads? I've just ordered a set from mister-auto.co.uk for £75 delivered. They get good reviews. I haven't fitted mine yet with the new discs so can't comment personally on their performance yet.
