Looking at upgrading pads only on std 575SA. Fiorano pack has Pagid Orange 4-4. I am going to go to Pagid Blue 4-2 to start with (dont want squeel issues) but wondering what compound are the existing factory ones. Some Pagid sites suggest that the Blue 4-2 was stock (OM?) on some Ferraris? Any other pad discussion / suggestions appreciated.
I am a big fan of the Porterfield R4-S pads. Have them on both my cars and they give very little dust but perform well enough for a track day at the Glen
LOTR- One of the 328 threads has one owner using the new Pagid Blue RS 5 ceramic mix pads. Not sure about noise. you might ask him. My 575M has FHP and Pagid 4-4s. Mine only squeal occasionally and definitely not enough to be embarrassing. I had the car about a month and a half before I heard the first little squeal. I though someone had changed pads until I heard it. Bloody things will sure haul the car down in a hurry. Taz Terry Phillips
I am being told by Ferrari New Zealand that the brake pads as standard on the 575 (not the Fiorano or GTC) are Ferodo hp1000 and Ferodo say that these are the same as their DS2500 pads which are the equivalent of the Pagid 4-2. Does anyone know if this is a correct statement. This would mean that changing to 4-2 blue or DS2500 is a waste of time??
