328 Brake Pads- Mostly street but track also?

Robert,

Use the Ferodo pads here and they are good. Pehaps the DS2500 for hard street and some track use? i can say to avoid the EBC Green Stuff as when they are cold they do not grip well at all. Believe a few guys here do use Porterfields so they can chime up.

 

Mintex 1144 are another possible choice if you have them over there or Pagid fast road

 

Porterfields are a good compromise.

 

The Porterfield R4-S is a great pad for performance street use but don't hold up well to track use. They will glaze and fade if you run hard at the track. The DS2500 Ferodo is a better dual purpose pad but be warned, it's a 50/50 shot they will squeel at light pedal pressure and low speed ie. coming to a stop sign, or parking lots. They also dust like mad.

Mintex is difficult to find as are Pagid that aren't Porsche shapes. If you are the kind of driver that drives mainly on the street and pushes it to 70% at the track, Porterfields are great. We sell them for $160 fronts and $80 rears. No noise, low dust.

Hope that helps,

Right. I am very satified with my DS2500 pads.

 

Thanks Martin, glad to have you here posting. Hope you can get me those two sets of front and rear pads i NEED asap. As for the DS2500, mine squeeled only during the initial hundred miles or so and now are quiet. You are right they dust like mad, but also stop/slow down the car quite well at the track too

 

Hi Robert,

$105 for the front and $72 for the rear.

Robert,

Do me a favor, if you are interested in these Ferodos, check this link and verify the pad shapes are the same as yours. I've heard of some different setups on the 328 depending on if it's an ABS car or not.

Thanks

Martin
