Hi All

Bought some of above pads for recent trackday from Rallye Sport (recent catologue was in CCC). Brief to assistant was:

Have used EBC greens - no good, faded
Have used EBC reds - ok when hot but crap when cold
Want some cold responsiveness
Want low brake dust (have also had Hawk Black's which were ace but covered the whole car in brake dust that was impossible to shift). Warned assistant have just had wheels refurbished so want to keep them clean(ish) for at leat a few months

Answer: you need Polymatrix D's sir !

Bought some and had day at donnington - ace pads, no fade, good feel, some cold responsiveness (so dont crash on way home fom circuit !) but lots of brakedust ! So much that next day the wheels had gone rusty ! Have cleaned off ok but it took a while.

Somepeople cannot be trusted !

Cheers

Rob

The rust will be metal from your brake discs

Yes really !

Had the same problem on my P1 when Prodrive supplied a pad with an aggresive compound.

Easy to remove the crud from the wheels and wings , doors etc

Use a Clay Bar from the WaxWizard email : u_mark@hotmail.com
