Brake pads - PostmanPete - 09-04-2010
Hi boys & girls,
I wanna run some sintered pads on the rear of my '05.
Does brand make any difference ie Nissen, EBC etc
Thanks

Learn to use the front brakes?
I stopped using sintered pads on the rear anywhere other than the track as they never got warm enough. Tracking wear with vernier calipers, I worked out that I was going to wear through my rear rotor before I actually wore out the EBC HH pad.
I run Galfer when I do put a sintered pad in the rear though. Works better than the EBC when cool in my humble opinion.

"Tracking wear with vernier calipers, I worked out that I was going to wear through my rear rotor before I actually wore out the EBC HH pad".
With street use? Or just track?

By far the majority of that was street. I don't use the rear brake very much, even less with the EBC as it felt like a wood block unless it was hot from a run down a mountain or on the track. I have visible scoring on the rear rotor from the EBC pads even with frequent cleaning.
Other HHs will probably produce different results, but I'm happy with a standard kevlar pad on the rear even with mountain runs.
