Hi,
I've seen a few topics about breaks recently and read up on this and other sites but I am still unsure of what the answer is.
I need a new set of rear brake pads and have decided to do the fronts as well. I've noticed recently that braking is a bit poorer than it had been so I guess the garage was right. I was planning to replace them with something uprated as the general consensus seems to be that the OEM ones are not very good (but they are cheap).
There seem to be some very mixed reviews on here and other sites of what is best. What I would like is improved braking for day to day and occasionally spirited driving so it would be nice if they gripped well when cool (I don't ever do track days).
I had ruled out Yellow Stuff as for track, excessive dust, poor grip cold.
I was considering Red Stuff but there seem to be reports of being bad cold, not lasting and not being any better than standard?
Someone in another thread mentioned something about 'blue stuff' but I can't find them if they exist for VR4??? (edit just fround some front only though, opinions)
I have just read some recommendations for Ferodo DS2500 but they are twice the price, is it worth it over other pads and do they do the job?
What are peoples thoughts on the above and have I missed anything worth considering out?
Many thanks!
Andy
Also should probably note that I don't plan to upgrade the rest of the brake setup at the moment.
