ae86 jdm brakes what pads you got?

[pen15]

as the topic states i have just got myself some ae86 jdm calipers and slotted and vented rotors i would like to know the best pads for the best price i don't really want something that's harsh on my discs but will pull up quick and can handle high temps cheers all for the feedback you can provide

[rthy]

QFM HPX is good for the price, love the trd blue street pads tho

[pen15]

hmm part numbers or places i can get these pads from?

i use project mu type nr for the front and project mu d1 spec for the rear.

first time i slammed them on almost sent my exgirlfriend thru the window. they are really killer but really would only recommend them for track.

as for the rears they lock up instant stylez when riping the handbrake. would def recommend them any time

[45aken]

quite exxy tho

well handbrake lock is what i want but for the front i will be treating my car on the street like i would on the track so street and track would mean the same thing to me i have looked at the project mu pads what part number are they and how do the jdm pads differ from adm or are they the same? is it just the calipers that are wider? cheers all

[H8CHIR6KU]

if you always gonna drive hard then type nr pads would be good. theyre not cheap tho. bout 180 for the front and 140 for the rear. and they quite noisy when cold too.

part numbers: fronts=type nr f186. rear=d1-spec r186

[Dish]

I used to run ferodo zero's on the front and they actually pulled up quite well, high high temps was their let down.

I only got rid of them cause I did a bit of a brake upgrade and bought rb74 pads. The rb74 pads glaze quite easily (As you would expect from a race type pad being used on the street) but are still very good. Available through AJPS for about $170pr I think.

oh ok well what about brake shoes for a t series drum setup does any1 make a good set of shoes that lock up? lol

[pen15]

truck linings

truck linings? part number? lol

[cracker]

truck linings are really good for t series drum set ups

i used to use a 3920 comp lining on my drum set up was so good for handbrake set up

[Cerby86]

i went into abs and asked about truck linings when i had my sprinter a couple of years ago and they had no idea what i was talking about!!

[H8CHIR6KU]

yeah getting your rear shoes relined with a race quality material is a good idea.

you would go for the same sort of material they use on the hq's racing series, which is a semi metallic compound. we also plan to do this with my collegues handbrake shoes in his 180 for killer locking spec

That's cause ABS are useless.

Go to a clutch and brake shop.

Do you see the irony in what you've just said? ABS are owned buy the biggest clutch and brake supplier in the country... and are a retailer for their full range of products.

As has been pointed out, have a look at the QFM range of pads, as they're far and away the most price effective performance pads, and made in Australia.

Something you guys might be able to help me out with, does anyone know a specialist performance shoe re-liner? We've got a couple of places that do 'heavy duty' stuff, but nothing specifically performance orientated...

Cheers,

Yep, the HPX is a good all round street pad, roughly the performance equivalent of a Bendix Ultimate, but without the dust and rotor wear, and cheap at $79 per axle set. If you're after a track and street pad, best to step up the A1RM, which is roughly the equivalent to something like a Ferodo DS2500, and $119 per axle set.

[RolandGTV85]

I use bendix, works a treat with RDA slotted rotors front and rear with steel braided lines. Stops like you hit a wall

[pen15]

where can i obtain some steel braided lines?

[sotiros86]

Dave from AJPS sells them. ADR approved and everything. Work well and at a reasonable price

I see no irony in it.

99% of them are grease monkeys, no more. Go there to get an oil change and brake check.

[advan86]

WinMaX pads front and rear.
Standard aussie front pads need to be sanded down a bit to fit due to the JDM thicker rotor but they work ok still part from the black dust the give off.

Ok, maybe the ABS stores operate a bit different in SA to QLD then. In QLD ABS stores are primarily a parts outlet for ATAP for the trade industry to service mechanics and other mechanical workshops, and secondly a mechanical workshop themself. Maybe it's the other way round in SA, but it's certainly the case in QLD and NSW.

I use bendix, works a treat
Ok, I'll bite... Which Bendix Pad works a treat? :unseen: How do they compare to other pads you've used?

[ae71]

im going to be using ferrodo zero pads in my jdm set-up to start with becuase im a total cheap skate. will go to the QMF pads later with new rotors.

the ferrodo's (which i have in my ke70) where good until they where about half worn. lasted for ages tho. they have no bite so you have to stomp on them hard to get them working but they seem to haev an alright working temp. they where good enough for about 4-5 laps around the track before the pedal started to get a bit long but they actually started to bite a bit harder when they where hot. after about 8 laps i started to feel unconfident in them pulling up after that so had to let them cool. also where good for a few hills runs up and down before they started to feel sloppy.

i was really happy with them for a $35 pad!!! and obviously i brought them a second time haha.
