mikeyb10supra Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 What are guys using for pads on there j-spec brakes? I cant really afford a full set of UK's at the mo so that plans out the window..... so going to maintain and use the j-specs for now. With steveyboy massively helping out bleeding the whole system and replacing lines with goodridge jobbies and nice fresh motul fluid I feel I would benifit from some pads. I know everyone will jump on the endless bandwagon but im not sure I can strech my budget that far at the mo as money is tied up in other stuff. Are project Mu any good? Any veiws guys? cheers Mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 CW fast road pads all the way. Have Project Mju on the teg at the moment, seem decent and Endless are pretty good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I have TRD black sport pads in stock, these give good bite with minimal fade. Or if you want the ultimate road pad (IMO) then I'd go with a set of the carbon composite Endless CC-X pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I just got my 1st set of CW pads and they are great:) Pair them up to some good hoses and fluid and they make for a very, very good set up if you're not going UK:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry I will, I love my car to much to crash it, but I have to say, I'm really happy with the pads, I have brakes again, and good ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 We've fitted loads of CW pads, I always recommend and fit them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 just did a blast last night with these new chris wilson pads to see what the fuss is about. BIG improvement in stopping power. Must admit it makes me drive less 'appropriately' as you can brake much much later v.good indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Garfy Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 well, I can say these pads are fantastic, took my car round Brands Sunday, and they performed very well, my peddle did get spongy after a few laps, but I think that has more to do with the fluid than the pads, and although it was spongy they were still working, oh, and they got hot enough to melt the paint on my calipers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Soft pedal is fluid fade, due to the fluid boiling gas vapour into itself. A good bleed and refresh with a race type fluid should be the next job. I use, recommend and sell Motul RBF600 fluid. Pad fade is where the pedal stays hard, but the car doesn't slow down very much. Bad fluid fade is where the pedal hits the floor and the car doesn't slow down at all, you always remember your first experience of the latter, God willing!
