Best pads for vr6?
« on: 23 July 2012, 20:56 »
Every time I brake I can hear a rubbing type of sounds coming from the back wheels. So take it it must be the pads can't think of anything else?

What are the best ones to use ? Also what size are they? It has grooved discs atm but don't know if they're standard size or bigger? :undecided:

judging from your pics in dub rides you have 288mm brake (metal clip running across calliper)

Personally i run ebc discs and green stuffs - Do what i want although brake fade does appear after some trashing but 95% of the time they is reet  :wink:

Go with solid discs - drilled discs can crack with the constant heat exchange but you'll probably never use them enough to do that

Mintex are highly rated too

Just go for a good quality Mintex, Ferodo or Pagid
