Brake Pads M16
Fandango - 9/8/17 at 09:38 AM

Hi All

I have brake issues with the Locost track only car.

I will replace / refurb the front (M16) calipers.

Can anyone here recommend a particular brand of pad, for track only?

Cheers Carl

I use DS2500 with no issues so far.

I chose them over a more aggressive pad, so I don't end up locking up all time.

Cheers for that, will have a look into.

I used mintex 1144 on my striker very happy with them on the track and road .

Cheers, the Mintex are quite a bit cheaper than the Ferodo.

Really? I paid £75 for my DS2500 with discont via a friend. How much are the Mintex one?

Mintex £65, Ferodo £85, these are both on Ebay.

Make sure there from a reputable source as there's lots of fake brake pads on the net . Burtonpower prices seem reasonable.
