What Pads To Use

[stang]

Well what do you guys think I should do go the 003 or the 750`s?

750s I guess if cold braking is the same but they handle more heat so better for occasional heavy braking. What are the prices? Do these suit BA Premium brakes or only standards?

[Guest FatBAt]

Don't know about the 750's Falchoon but the LTM003's are around $85 a set (front) More than happy with my LTM's with the DBA slotters.

Tyrone at Stopmaster Brakes in Newcastle will know the answers to your Q's. He can be contacted on 0249 437 222

I got the information I posted earlier of a guy on ebay, they have been seelling for $99 for front , so assume $99 for back would be similar. The 003 need a shim kit is this the case with the 750`s.

I didn't put the shim kit in with mine, and I have no probs. Just in the middle of the bedding process now, and have nothing but good things to say so far. Not a lot of dust, reasonable cold bite and good pedal feel.

Which ones did you get and why did u leave the shim kit out ?

The only QFM pad I'd recommend is the RaceBrakes RB74 - currently using them with PBR perfomrance upgrade package and used them before with DBA 4000 slotted. They are a competition pad which is brilliantly fade-free under the harshest braking. Lmited dust but might be harder than standards on your rotors but for Christ's sake do you want brakes that work or just look nice?!

Stang:

THey are made by QFM but are marketed through Race Brakes (Melbourne) and their number is RB74.THey are a relatively hard, comp spec pad but with sufficient cold bite to make them usable on the street as well as the track and therein very fade resistant.

I just bought a BA Mk 1 XR6 Turbo Ute, the brakes seem to be on the way out, should I stick with the stock pads as the whole car is stock or go for something better?
