Brake Pads M16

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

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