Morning all

Its time for some new brake pads

Remit, the little 2 is used for spirited weekend blasts and a few trackdays per year, dont want to break the bank either, just looking for a good compromise, if there is such a thing

Cheers Rob

I've found Blue-stuff ones to be good.

Yeah yellows mate, or these I found better. Fronts would be ok as well.

*edit: just checked the price of these and they've gone up 50% since I bought them 😞

PBS protrack maybe...

Just a warning, if you are *very* hard on brakes (like I am), then Yellowstuff may very well literally melt and fall apart on you:

I emailed EBC about this issue, and they didn't give a monkeys 🤷🏻

I wouldn't say I'm a demon on the brakes, can't get the 1zz fast enough for that ;D
