what brake pads

[GAZ W]

what brake pads are best for track days for a mk2 ?

Im on track rsoc nat day and want to get the car in good shape for the day so want to replace my pads , what do you track experts recomend?

And are rear brake cylinders still available for the rs2000?

Use Mintex 1144 or 1155

More important though is to replace brake fluid with at least Dot 5 (will mix with Dot 4)

Take a tyre pressure gauge and torque wrench as well

Is there any noticable difference between the 1144 or the 1155's ?

got DOT5 in there allready

If I remember rightly

1144 = daily use / fast road

1155 = fast road / track

Once warmed up both pads will work upto a higher heat range without fade

You have been in my car and have seen the confidence I have with my brakes :cyclopsani:

If your present fluid has been in for nearly 12 months - CHANGE IT !!

Old (doesnt have to be many miles) fluid boils up quickly and then brake fade or worse :bom:

SRF fluid states on tin - no more than 18 mths and that is £30.00 a litre !!!!!
