I need front brake pads, my local parts shop said Tarox are very good , does anyone use them here?

Or any other recomendations?

No stay well away from Tarox they are CRAP! do a search on here;)

I've just ordered some Mintex 1166's for £75 ish, my mate who races his S13 rates them above DS2500's.

Not sure what the numbers relate to but Mintex 1144's from 3G Brakes are £78.00 and are a good all round pad.

 

They are now saying Green stuff are only good for cars up to 200 bhp.

Red stuff take a while to heat up and wear quickly.

 

But I hear Porterfield are the nuts and is what I've gone for.

I asked the guy at the shop about porterfield and he'd neva heard of em. Where d'you get yours james?

Porterfield are supposed to be ok.

Pagid RS4's

 

1144 - 1155 - 1166 are kinda like green, red, yellowstuff but just better.

 

1144's can be got for £60+post.

Some nice chap is getting mine from the states for me.

 

SE do them.

 

I know http://www.stranoparts.com do them and can ship them to UK aswell.

 

Also http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/300zxbrakes.htm which are a UK company.

 

**just looked at whifbitz again and they are cheap!!!!**

Thanx , i'll take a look at whiff now

I did have the green stuff pads but as times are hard went for a cheapy £18.99 set from local motorfactor this time. The only difference I have noticed is the amount of dust on the wheels, thats it. So no more green stuff for me thank you.

Might try some of the carbon cevlar thingys when I get a bit more money with a new set of discs.
