Melbourne guys, std caliper front pads, for racing, hook me up, who sells what?

[dat2kman]

Any Melb guys using stock calipers,

Need contact names and numbers for suppliers of decent pads for S30

Bendix DB 86 is our Z,

but

I can drill pin holes in a BD625 ( Ford Escort/Capri/RS2000 to make fit.

 

Have been using Bendix Race ( no not Ultimates, they are useless)

Have tried Ferodo DS2500, they turned to crumble,,

Dont want EBC, as they have ridiculous chamfers to leading/trailing edges.

 

Hook me up.

Who sells what?

[C.A.R.]

Call 'competition friction' in ACT,

& ask for a suitable cross reference.

 

Tried DS3000's?

Maybe PFC's?

[dat2kman]

Have used Pagids from Comp Friction, ridiculous prices, as usual.

The Bendix Race range have been good value, about $240 a set, but due to lack of demand, are not being made

 

Too many reports on ds3000's with solid rotors ripping the rotor to shreds, no thanks.

 

Who/what is PFC?

Was told VA Spiteri? Do pads???

[pauly_adams]

I was using bendix SRT (street road track) they stop well but doe tear your rotors to bits

 

[dat2kman]

Found PFC,

They do not do either db86 or db625

 

[Scoota G]

Maybe try Luskys in Latrobe St Ballarat.

Have you had a chat GSL Rallysport up here yet?

 

Or GMP down in Melbourne, I knwo they are an ajent for Hawk and other brands and maybe able to help out.

 

Might also be worth chatting to the guys at Performance friction at Stapylton if you haven't already, they have plenty of pad compounds avialble that should cope without ripping rotors apart. Contact details are:

Unit 3, 11 Christensen Road, STAPYLTON  QLD  4207

I run QFM A1RM pads in the DB86 size, bought through GSL. About $120 or thereabouts. Really good to deal with, the pads were in my mailbox within a day or two.

 

In the past I've run Ferodo (I think they were 2500's, they crumbled over time), more recently ran Bendix Ultimates (these crumbled around the edges in no time at all), the QFM have been the best so far in terms of both performance and not crumbling away. I fitted a pair of new rotors at the same time as the pads and haven't noticed any serious wear on the rotor yet.

 

Mind you, my car is lighter, slower and I probably don't drive as hard as you would. Not sure if what works for me would work for you.
