what pads for lucas 266's

[tman]

Searched but struggling to find a definitive answer. I have a pair of lucas 266mm calipers but need pads and not sure which pad type I need. All the info seems to be for the bosch calipers.

Can anyone help?

Thanks. It seems i have the 'rare' sabertooth lucas calipers. Found the pad type i need in the FAQ's on here... lesson learned!

Now i have to decide which pads to go for. Leaning towards ds2500's. The car is my daily but hope to get to a track or two this year.Any other recommendations that may suite my use more?

Might be a bit much for a daily as in not getting them up to temperature.

This is what was concerning me. I'm not sure whether any pads offer a decent compromise between daily and track though?

Mintex ones I use seem to be pretty good, sure they'll do them for the calliper your using. What motor do the callipers come from?

I was told they're off a 206 gti. I have mintex oem pads on the standard set up in using at the moment and they seem ok but was looking for something with a bit more bite. But i guess the bigger calipers and master cylinder should provide that anyway
