hi guys anyone know of a good brake pad (front) for a 1990 starlet gt it has a single piston caliper and doesnt get track time but will do the odd car club sprint
any ideas and comments on the brake pads they used wod b great
I use mintex 1166, and love them. They are a good pad from cold, and a great pad when hot. I have had the discs glowing orange, and the car surrounded in smoke from the brakes, and they still locked up the front at 120.
I use the repco ones, GP2s I think. They seem fine for my car on the track and I haven't noticed any fade. They don't work as well on the first brake application so I wouldn't want any more of a "race pad" as I also drive my car on the road.
Mine are still stock, havent changed them in ova 3 years and they handled a full day of thrashing on Manfeild
Having said that tho, my partner uses EBC but found they wanted to break up on the track. We are both changing to M1166 Mintex and run SRF brake fluid and would recommend this as the preferred upgrade.
