Having already gone via virtually 10 units of brake pads on the Colt Ralliart race automotive, it’s time to evaluation what works for us and what doesn’t. Right here is our expertise with completely different manufacturers and our trustworthy opinion.
The usual Mitsubishi Real brake pads work very nicely from chilly. They’re progressive all through the braking vary and stop the little Colt fairly nicely certainly. We have been impressed with how good they have been for normal brakes. Mitsubishi positively did their homework on this.
The draw back nonetheless is their brief life for monitor/race software. They’re are also susceptible to brake fade after a protracted punishing session. Ours lasted solely 2 full monitor days earlier than having to get replaced.
These pads are rated greatest for sporty highway and monitor use. They carry out barely higher than OEM pads whereas sustaining the identical braking traits. They’re additionally equally priced or decrease than OEM for what are thought-about “efficiency pads”. They don’t undergo from brake fade, simply dealing with lengthy punishing monitor periods.
It isn’t a worthy purchase in our opinion.
ProjectMu Gymkhana Comp B
A extremely rated Japanese model, they carry out precisely as marketed. Match for objective for brief course racing with a number of braking. Fade resistant and barely higher stopping energy than OE. In addition they have good pad life at twice that of OEM pads.
Solely con for us is availability. We might solely discover these from Japan and delivery prices as a lot because the pads themselves. Delivery non-withstanding, they’re good worth for cash.
Just one factor to say about them — PERFECT!!
They’re considerably higher that OEM pads in braking, carry out persistently lap after punishing lap with zero fade, final for eons(in comparison with OEM pads). Although rated identical as EBC yellow stuff for sporty highway and monitor use Ferodo pads are a lot a lot better. Undoubtedly value having these for any monitor use wanting full on racing.
They’re the costliest of the three however not by a lot. Since they’re sourced from Europe, it is very important get the sizing appropriate in your JDM fashions lest you find yourself with incorrect pad fitment.
