Bet they are pretty average at best Harry! Get some Carbotech's in there or Performance Friction!

Or Carbon Lorraine or Hawks or just about anything other than Black Diamond

I haven't tried the predator ones but then I haven't tried painting my house with bird shit and I am equally sure the BD pads would be about as wise!!

Don't do it H..........there must be other choices
I have just searched for prices and the BD pads are really cheap............do you reckon that they'll stand track abuse Harry?

I had them on my old Scoob before fitting the Brembos. I never used them on track but I don't think they would be much good as they were only average on the road.

Thanks Chaps Back to Yellowstuff I think, they seem to suit me and the car
Stuart their track pad is quoted as an FT372 suitable to 520 deg C without fade for 4 pot Subaru callipers they quot

Hello Logan thanks for the info, I don't think I put the same heat or braking forces in that you do almost sedentary by comparison
