hi guys,
i recently purchased a coilover setup and they have the ae71 panel van calipers, i was wondering what the best pads are for these under $50.
but i dunno if a thread has been made like this before, so i thought id also put it out there as to what the best pads are for all models (KE70, 86, etc.)
cheers
QMF pads seem to be a reasonable spec at a reasonable price..
i brought a front set of ferrodo zero pads ages ago and they actually stood up for quite a few hard laps on the track, they where still fairly new back then htye are under half worn now and they are starting to get a bit ordinary, they get too hot to quickly now. they didnt have much bite either, you had to get onto the pedal to get them braking.
also there was a "big brake discussion" covering pads rotors fluid multi piston callipers etc, its well worth a read. seeing as you just went to the troble/expense of buying a coilover setup it would warrant some descent pads yeah? I'm fairly sure AE71 panel vans had adm sprinter brakes?
^correct, ae71 panel vans did have sprinter struts in them...so any pad to suit the Aus sprinter will suit....
but for $50 your really not going to get much more than stock replacements....don't be such a jew on the second most important part of a car....
talk to Justin he will hook you up some some soft qfm pads for your budget I would think

youve got me puzzled, you spend money upgrading a suspension and then you want to cut costs on brakes???? spend a bit more money and put a good set on. They only have to pull you up short once to pay for themselves.
lucas seem decent value for performance. Though not under $50.
ill do a good price on the lucas
