Brake Pad recommendation
lanciamad:
I'm after some front pads for my car, can anyone recommend some track/fast road pads, the make and also where i can get hold of them?
Also has anyone ordered and currently using these front discs ??? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LANCIA-Beta-2-0-PERFORMANCE-DRILLED-GROOVED-DISCS_W0QQitemZ130299133378QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item1e566efdc2&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1683%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 or do i have to be the guinea pig :D

Well i purchased the discs 8), service was excellent, arrived in the post 4 days after being ordered, measurements seem to be all correct so i'll look forward to using them once/if my fast road pads come through from red dot.

I am also looking at improving the braking system of my Beta for track/fast road use. How did all this work out (disks and red dot pads). I presume you are using steel braided lines? Do you have any suggestions for me in terms of improving the brakes on my Beta. Thanks for your time in advance. Shane

I have goodridge steel braided lines, and in conjunction with a properly adjusted linkage gives a very solid pedal, removing a lot of the sponginess & pedal travel.
My past experience with pads is that the genuine DBA/bendix are the best for std road use, beware of non genuine pads, some are awful, with poor stopping power, bad fade and wearing out after only a few thousand miles.
I'd be interested in any comments on uprated pads people have tried. I hillclimb my car and have never had a problem with the std set up, but I am not continually driving round a track lap after lap, although this is on the cards for next year.....
