marino Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hello Question now i remember talk of brake pads suitable for the alpine roads was discussed last time around . I used ebc green stuff last time and wasnt that impressed to be honest although i do run an auto so they do get extra stick as you all know. But im sure mintex were mentioned so my question is what type and where from please ? Or any other suggestions on standard saloon brakes.regards all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogie Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hi Folks, Tim Hunt Swayed me to go Ferodo FDR167. Did nearly 3000miles around Scotlandshire earlier this month. Worked very well. I also was a GreenStuff user but have given up on them now.Pads from Burton Engineering. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Mintex M1144 on the Spitfire, I've always been very happy with their performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Hunt Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Glad you like the Ferodo pads Roger. FER167 is the pad design, the actual compound I favour is DS Performance.Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky_spit Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 What is it about Green Stuff that people do not like? I've had them in my Spitfire for a while now and found them to be very good; very progressive and they lock the fronts if you keep pressing. This is on a Spit that is quite light admittedly. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Cook Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I have Green Stuff and find them fine, lasting quite a long time as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Got to agree with Mike Banks about Greenstuff pads, just fitted some to my Saloon that are being used in conjunction with Wilwood 4 pots and Citroen vented discs (Witor kit). As both Mike and Don have stated, I have found them to be progressive and they stop the car quickly without judder (which is more than can be said for the last set-that may have been down to very slightly warped discs).

Tim Bancroft Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Thread drift!Mike Banks and Don, are you not doing the 10CR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky_spit Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Quoted from timbancroft61 Thread drift!Mike Banks and Don, are you not doing the 10CR? Hi Tim - no, unfortunately not this time. Not from lack of wanting to do it, but some family issues meant it was not really possible. I certainly hope I can do the next one though. Thanks for asking.I hope you have a great run, and have a large Leffe for me at Rolduc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 That is a shame as your car is one of the ones I always look out for. Er, Leffe, blasted dangerous booze that.....a session beer is more suitable for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Following last night's driver's meeting I am trying to track down some Mintex 1144 pads for the 2000.It's a 1968 Mk1 2000 auto with, as far as I know, standard brakes.Any suggestions where I can get some, or whether maybe Stag pads will fit?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Stag pads should be the same. As will be MGB.I followed a link a kind person put in here a while back and purchased some stock from Belgium or the Netherlands.Got a couple of sets cheaper that 1 set in the UK.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Sorry , link no longer availableHe still lists them.He was doing discount for 3 or more last time so 2 sets 40 euro, 3 sets 45 euro. But note postage goes up a bit. Find a mate who wants a set!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
