Andy's 'IPRA' Coupe

[Intense]

Hi Andy, I'm thinking about going the t3 brake upgrade but I've got one thing that's holding me back, brake pad availability. How easy is it to get brake pads for those calipers, do you have to get them imported from the usa or do u know any local suppliers that can get them?

See now If gav were smart like me you rock up on time to pick up pizza and have to do sweet fa work.

I can get carbon ceramic ones to replace the willwood ones, cos they are shit. PM me if you need some

What're those pads like on the street, they'll end up being for my daily driver so if they take a few mins to heat up before they work, might have to give them a miss.

[Andy San]

you can get a rally compound one which works from cold, so ok for street

Are they just shit for high speed grip work or just shit in general?

Because Im primarily drifting, I wont have time to get a lot of heat into them, not am I doing continuous laps with hard braking like you are.

[Andy San]

they probably aren't that shit for either, they just have a different friction compound so they work from cold. rally cars still use brakes as well!

for drift you could just about use standard pads, it's not like they really cop any sort of heat stress for a long period. The rally compound ones work fine.

no worries, thanks andy. Ill use these and then look into others.

Joel @ spirited drive can supply other pads as well too being a t3 dealer, but good to know there are other options.

[Andy San]

do you know what brand pads can he supply?

[Touge Boy]

i know when i bought my kit through him, i was offered the hawk hp and hp+ pads or the wilwood track pads as an upgrade. You'll have to ask him if theres anything else available.
