    Lightbulb Best Brake Pads to use on Slotted Rotors?

    Hi guys,

    Just want to get some thoughts, options, opinions on what people are using and what experiences they've had, approx costs and suppliers with a particular brake pads to suit Front RDA Slotted Rotors?

    Chassis: EM1 262mm RDA Rotors
    Purpose: Daily and maybe track
    Sussy: Coilvers, FSB 22mm/RSB 25mm /ASR
    Wheels: 17inch Super light weights.

    Basically,

    What is the best matching brake pads for a daily with lots of grip, less noise, minimal rotor wear, and minimal dust to suit my RDA Slotted rotors.


    thanks guys.

    Are the rotors slotted and dimpled?

    I'm using Project Mu Club Race (200-800degrees) on RDA slotted/dimpled rotors and after a punishing day at Winton, have held up beautifully.

    I would use Project MU Type HC+ (0-800degrees) if you are going to street/track regulary or B-spec (0-500degrees) if it's just for street/touge use for the front and B-spec on the rear (as braking temps don't get anywhere near 500 degrees on the rear)

    they are just slotted.

    thanks for sharing... but i think those are mostly suited for a more of track and heavy street racing pads.. lol .

    im only after for a daily use which is more suited to my basic requirements..

    thanks guys.

    You cant really have all of these in one pad.

    Less rotor wear means less grip, because the pads arent as abrasive.
    Less noise equals more dust, A hard pard with minimal dust is going to be noisy, and a soft pad thats quiet will create a lot of dust.

    And anything that comes close to having low dust, minimal noise and less rotor wear is going to be shit with your slotted rotors, because youll be changing pads every 10k kms and theyll be shite as soon as you put some heat through them when you do some tough driving.

    Thats more like it lol

    Something from the EBC range is normally a good bet. GreenStuff are the ones that most people use, but they are very dusty.

    I started using Remsa's after finding it almost impossible to get a decent pads for my fd1. GSL Rallysport supplied them for less than half the price of the comparable Jap spec stuff. (Project Mu etc)

    Paid $89 for fronts and $79 for rear. The pads I got are fanatastic on the road with great bite from cold, they are rated to 650C and do produce some dust. I'm running them on a set of DBA slotted rotors and wear after 10K seems minimally, also absolutely noise free !!

    I'll be taking em to the track this weeks, so it will be interesting to see how they handle it.

    Using Endless MX72s atm, beautiful brake pads but need to use rotors of better material, it'll munch/warp your factory rotors...

    Its not just the temperature you need to check, as trism said, you need to be aware of the abrasive or friction co-efficient. I dunno if RDA has improved/changed the metal they're using or they've got another range of rotors using harder metals, the RDAs I had at the start got munched by my MX72s after trying to warm them up. They actually cut a deep groove in them while trying to warm them up properly? These were the most basic RDA Slotted Rotors, I know they've got gold passivated ones now...
