Best Brake Pads to use on Slotted Rotors?

[lil_foy]

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...

My rda rotors were destroyed by some QFM a1rm pads and I hadnt been to the track yet, way to soft of a metal.
I'm switching to 282 setup with dba 4000 + mx72 now as well, should be the perfect setup as i've only heard good reviews of mx72 and the dba4000 seem to hold up in most people's setups.

Wow thanks for all your responses/experiences..

i just hope that these RDA slotted rotors i got will last and is not the el cheapo copies.. lol (got it from JDMYARD) .. hahah

i think ill test trial with some BENDIX Ultimate on them first and see how it goes..

any1 used those pads with the RDA slotted rotors?

A mate with a WRX has RDA rotors and Bendix ULT pads, and it ****ing pulls up like youve hit a brick wall.

No comment of rotor wear but.

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.

lots of grip,
less noise,
minimal rotor wear,
minimal dust

LOL

I was gonna say that, pick 3 out of the 4

when you say pulls like a brick wall....

do you mean that it grips like a mofo?

rotor wear no good?

ikr ..but very had to find 2 of 4 preferences at a decent priced pads

yeah, when you stand on the brakes, it just stops.

And its not just a one time stop either, its good for twisty runs.

ok so overall ....out of ten ...what would u rate the combo at?

[trism]

In stopping power or overall?


Overall probs a 7.

I have herd that its a good idea to get some braided lines, cusco brake stopper. Currently using standard bendix pads with rda slotted.

I have RDA slotted 262mm rotors on my Ek4 and got some Acre Super fighters to match all bought from JDM yard. I will recommend this set up for street driving (normal/heavy) as i am very happy with it. Ive had this set up for around a year and still sweet as. No need to warm up, performs right away and better when warmed up as they are rated from 0 - 450 degrees i think, very minimal dust and from my research and from what JDM yard has told me, they are better than EBC green stuff. I also recall that a member on here has used these brakes for a track day consisting of 60ish laps and they lasted him the whole day, only starting to give up on the last couple of laps?? The only thing is that I have had this set up for round a year and only recently my brakes are starting to screech really lightly under hard braking, without affecting performance whatsoever. But i think my disc needs machining but not sure.
