Scott Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I've contacted Nic on a set of TRD's and i have contacted Paul on a set of Porterfield's but what other options do i have? I really don't want to go with the EBC's after reading such negative feedback on here so what other options are there? I won't be tracking the car just the odd bit of spirited cornering on the backroads so its fast road at the most. Would stockers be a good option? Are there any others? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I was reading peoples opinions on various different forums and porterfields always come up as a favourite, they're expensive though.

SteveR Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Poterfields are good. I've munched through a set of their "race" pads in just ~4 track days though - apparently the "fast road" version (teeny bit cheaper) wouldn't have lasted as long. My car is faster than the average and yet still full weight, so the brakes take a pounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Searching this forum Endless seemed to come up quite a few times. Can't seem to find them though. The porterfields are an option as are stocks at the moment. Stocks are winning due to the cost of the porterfields including postage. Didn't realise members didn't get a discount at whifbitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Whifbitz service is good and their prices are fair but obviously consider postage on top if you can't collect. Stock Toyota brakes are very impressive and I can't fault mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Chris Wilson's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Chris Wilson's? Definately get my recommendation, as always. His fast road pads are very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Does he still sell them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Just phoned Chris and he does indeed still do them. £145.80 all in posted for a full set of UK's (front and rear). Bargain IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're good pads Give off some dust, but quite frankly I'd trade dust for performance over clean wheels and my car in a ditch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm using the CW Fast Road pads on my small spec brakes, they are very good (if a little dusty). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
