Brake pads

What are you all using for road/tarmac rally use?

[tryphon]

I use Ferrodo DS3000 (DS11) and they are quite good when warmed up. They do produce a lot of dust though.

I use DS 3000 for circuit use, they do not overheat despite serious abuse, they need no bedding in and perform reasonably from cold. however they do not last long, 3-4 races only on my Alfa 33 ie 2-3 hrs hard running only! and they are expensive.
However on the stratos I am still limited by locking fronts under braking so they are lasting a long time, as I am unable to give them any real grief (I'm still working on the set up - better atDonnington - reduced front tyre pressure to 12psi cold, which allowed the tyres to come up to temperature nicely 19psi warm). The most abuse they took was Pembury 20 mins of flat out 110 plus to a second gear hairpin with no discernable fade!
NB they are not reccomended for road use (DS2000 are)

Just bought Mintex M1144 to go with these

EBC Green Stuff to go with Wilwood 4 pots all round. Seem to be better than the Ferodos but still need bedding in and a collapsed vacuum tube replaced before I'll be happier!
On the subject of callipers, does anyone know of a supplier who makes an integral handbrake calliper suitable for vented discs?

Nice table, but the ashtray looks impractical.

Chris can you be my style guru

Ps Guy Hi Spec are taking names for their Handbrake 4 pots. I think they are sure that by December they will have stock but as we all know the have said that before. They are carrying stock of all their callipers now. I ordered mine 9am and had next day delivery.
