Help STOP!

**RT104GT** · 13-09-2006, 11:36 AM

After machining the old girls rotors and fitting a set of hand me down new Bendix Metal Kings, I remember what I hated about this car on a cold morning. With reaction time I need 300 metres to stop as the pads heat up. Intially you would swear the pads were jammed. So whats hot

and whats not!

in brake pads. These days? RT104 DB somethings..

Also has anyone seen the brake pads with the inserts for lining wear? I used to use Cresida pads for the sumitomo front set up but when I asked the Toyota guy to stick that into his data base his eyes glazed over. Also if anyone has a microfiche reader that is holding the shed door open on a hot day I have Rt104 Microfiche data base circa 1976.

PAD KIT 47710L for S16 type brakes
Individual original disk pad number is 47720-20090 no slot 47720-20091 slot for wear pad.

Just get either Bendix Advanced, EBC Reg90s, or Ferrodo Performance pads. All are good, all are dusty, all will stop you.
Ultimates, Greens, and the DS2000s onwards will take time to heat up.

Bendix advanced are probably the way to go for street driving. Also Bendix Ultimate - little squeaky on warm up but nothing major. I stuck the advanced pads in the celica and holy shit it stops on its nose!

if you can grab Lucas pads as well, they're pretty good.. i've changed from bendix to Lucas last year for a few reasons...

Makes me feel better about the Advance I just got for the rear of my car.

Have Bendix Advance in the rona, much improvement over the previous pads (brand not known). No idea on dust because well the steelies are black anyway

i have found Ferodo DS2500 to be pretty good on my GT4

they aren't really good for the first stop, but anything after that they are better then the lucas ones i took out.

a lot of dust tho

Dust is the stuff you shouldn't breath in when you bang the rear drums on the ground.

Yeah my discs are on minimum and as Girling rarities I have no desire to tear the crap out of them using metallics. besides I don't drive as fast since I hooked up the speedo chimer lead that goes Ding Dong Avon calling! at 110
