rear pad ugrade

[Heggers]

Afternoon chaps.

Just a quick one, I'm going to be changing my discs and pads front & rear in the next few weeks and I'm just wondering if you can get uprated rear pads? Looking at the traders, TM-Developments do the EBC rear pads but are they any good? And with them being for the back would the pads make a noticeable difference to braking?

Cheers.

uprated rear pads dont make much of a noticeable difference from what i've read.

 

[glanzanut]

yeah you can get upgraded rear pads mate. ebc are gd as long as they are yellow or red. green are supposed to be no gd. and yes it will make a good difference even on the rear.:freddy:

x2 wouldnt bother with uprated rear pads. Fronts are the ones to get uprated. Just get some braided brake lines on the back & some oem pads & it will be fine

TM developments are testing rear yellow pads at the moment. You can also buy the EBC black ones for about £25 which are like an OEM replacement.

I'm only uprating my rear disks/pads as the standard ones look a bit crap behind alloys!

I was going to get the Tuning Developments package
http://www.tuningdevelopments.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=UltimateBrakeKit

And just get standard rear discs with pads. The only ones I can spot are the EBC ultimax

Don't know too much about brakes personally so thanks to everyone so far, have some rep for your troubles

Get the Tuning Developments Package!

and then :

Stock Rear Disks with Stock Pads
Brake Master Cylinder Stopper

If your getting braided brake lines, remember there are x4 lines on the rear, most braided line packages you buy only have two for front and two for rear.

Tm Developments sell the full kit with x6 braided lines

[Heggers]

Ah, lovely didn't realise they were the ones lol

I've just PM'd Nick@TD.co.uk to see how many lines you get in the kit, hopefully it's the full 6 but if not no bother, I'll just sell them on and get the TM full kit.

Again, thanks for the speedy replies guys

 

[clarkytrd]

Nick only sells the x4 lines with his kit,

I bought the package off him.

Now I've sold the whole lot haha!!

Our brake lines are 4 lines, but the rear 2 replace all 4 on the rear and the metal pipe between as well

 

[Iain@CRD]

EBC only do Ultimax is there range for the Rears pads at the moment, there better over standard but compared against standard.

 

[Heggers]

Just ordered some of your lines Dave, just looked at my car and my passenger front has split :/

More rep for good info, cheers Iain big help

 

[WallaceGlanza]

I would think yellow stuffs on the rear wouldn't be very good as they don't generate the same heat and the yellows need heat to work.

 

[Iain@CRD]

Exactly Wallace!

 

[Dave@TM-developments.com]

You are misinformed, yellows work very well fron cold

 

[weakboy2]

[Dave@TM-developments.com]
