Alternatives To Rc5+

[@ndy]

I've been running CL RC5+ for the past 10 months and I'm very happy with how they perform on track, however I'm surprised they have worn out after 6 TD's, 3 sprint events and no more than 150 miles on the road !

 

Although I've had no problems with them crumbling I do have concerns after reading all the bad press still on SELOC and wondered what are the alternatives with the same performance ?

 

Anyone running Performance Friction mainly on track and if so which ones ?

 

Cheers @ndy

Andy which discs are you running?

 

I've just fitted rc5+ on the front (295 discs) and rc6 rear with Elise parts discs at the rear and by Christ do they stop! It's brough the braking balance towards the rear as I wanted and it's mega.

 

No idea on the wear rate yet though.

RC6's are awesome, best pads I have tried. But they absolutely ate my front AP discs so I switched back to RC5's and now happy with standard Pagid RS14. That sounds like a good setup tho Jody!!

I'm running Elise parts disc's all round.....

 

Looks like the RC6 have a lower wear rate than the RC5+, Might give them a go all round

I had RC6 on the Exige ( and there does not seem to be any bad press at the time about rc6 )

But they are more an endurance focused pad they eat disks but stop you up on a postage stamp

 

Any sintered pad will eat disks thou

 

I hope this helps Andy

I've got rs14 all round. I think they are amazing. I would definitely get again.

 

I've had the cl's, rs42 as well.

The best pads I've ever used, and by some distance, were Carbotech XP8.

RS15 were high friction some thought too high giving an on off feel to the brakes.

I had some xp10 on my evo... Carbotech are an awesome pad I agree.... Although the tens squealed like a mating pig....

Personally I think you should try PF pads Andy. I haven't tried CL pads, nor have I used PF pads unassisted but I reckon you wouldn't see any loss in performance and you'd be able to give us proper feedback.

Thanks for all the feedback..... I've gone with RC5+ on the front and RC6 on the rear, Only used on the road for about 20  miles but can definitely feel the brake balance change.

 

Not sure it was a good idea thou ahead of a sprint event tomorrow !

[jody391]

Isn't it awesome! I love it

My rears are about ready. I might try the RC6s. I will wait and see how you guys get on on a wet track day first!

So far so good after the Blyton sprint.....

 

Morning was very very wet and the brakes were great, The afternoon was dry and again no complaints
