What pads 266mm..

[gazza808]

So I'm looking for a decent ish pad for my 206 gti 266mm setup,
There doesn't seem to be many options about,
What are you guys running?

[Sam]

I have a set of 266mm Lucas Caliper, im running DS2500 pads with Mintex Vented Discs and AP 5.1 Fluid.

[gazza808]

Where did you get your ds2500's?
As I'm struggling to find any for the 266's

[KamRacing]

You need to say what padshape you have. There are three 206 caliper versions for the 266mm discs - each with a different padshape.

Ah cheers when I get back to the uk I'll be giving you a ring, any chance you can quote me a price on all three?

[Sam]

I got mine from Demon Tweeks, abit more expensive that online shops but I was able to take my old pads and check they where correct.

Go into a local motor store and find out what pad you need. When you get the shape and order number you can use that to shop online.

If not, there are pictures and dimensions online to figure out what pad you have. That's what I did when ordering my M1144 Mintex pads (£115) for my 266mm set up.

they do for premium members :D 10% off, which is obviously a tenner on (say) £100 pads. Worth mentioning!

[gazza808]

Think I've figured it out,
These are my pads

Hassle being 5000miles from the calipers or pads lol,
Narrowed it down to cl rc5s or rc6s,

[Ross]

If you're looking for CL pads, there's nowhere cheaper than KAM Racing. Kev will sort you out.

CL6's are a bit hardcore for the road - what's the usage?

[gazza808]

Mainly track tbh, I'll probs go rc5's as they are a tad cheaper and I do daily it if I'm feeling brave lol!

[KamRacing]

The only thing about CL brakes is they dont have anti rattle springs. Usually using pads and some high temp silicon can help reduce the pad rattle, but I mention it as a caution. For road use it may be a concern to some.

I'm just sorting our listings so will be able to post a price for DS2500 in a moment

[gazza808]

Being Noisey doesn't really annoy me luckily, ill be ordering them later on from kam,

[Alanapone]

I have the same set up mate. It's the early Bosch setup.

I got some Mintex M1144's from Kam a while back, their still going strong!! Done a few full track days, taster sessions and a few thousand miles on the road. VERY dusty but great pads! Well worth the money.

I have T.D. 1.2's and they are a pain to keep clean due to the dust that comes off them but they make up for it when you get them on the track. Very impressed with them as you can tell.

[gazza808]

Well I was going to order some pads but seems kams site has gone mad and can't order just the fronts at the moment.

[KamRacing]

We've been redoing loads of product listings. Probably made the server slow.

[gazza808]

Sites still not changed I'll ring through when I get back to the uk.
