I recently purchased some Remsa pads for the front and rear of my Clubsport for under $200 delivered. They performed flawlessly around Phillip Island.

i have been using the Bendix heavy duty pad. Use them mostly on the street, some track work. Also its not harsh on my rotors like some hardcore brake pads out there

I use EBC yellow which is more of a track pad, they work extremely well on Pukekohe, on the street when dead cold I have to be careful. The pads don't make too much dust like some do. EBC red is a good street pad.

Ferodo DS2500, the ONLY pad to use!

If you're going to go with EBC then get them from the UK. With $100 of delivery charges a full set will still be cheaper than buying just the rears in Oz.

I've got a full set on the way. $240AU delivered (yes, there's $100AU of delivery charges in that) for front and rear pads (reds) to suit VZ AP Racing brakes. $290 for the rears only on eBay. DS2500 pads are dusty as hell which is the main reason I'm going EBC. Potential cause of persistent shudder (resin spots) is another reason, but as yet unconfirmed.

EBC Redstuff.... Being using them for a while now. Great for the street and can get a few laps out of them on tight circuits. Virtually no dust.

How are you finding the dust levels? I fitted Remsa all round in November. They perform well but they are dusty as hell, not too much of a problem just means more times spent cleaning the rims. Also tend to squeal a little bit with light breaking. Need to replace the disks in the coming month or so and will probably go DBA 4000s with Remsa pads from GSL.

Have you tried Libra Ultra Thin pads...










c'mon someone had to make a pad joke!

To be honest i didn't really notice. When i finished at the track i took the race rims off in the dark and put the road rims on (race rims stores at brothers house). The road rims have got a bit of dust on them but i wouldnt say it's excessive. I have probab;y on;y done about 1,000k's with the pads though.
