Yellowperil Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Hi I'm planning to use my TR6 for the Snetterton track day in a couple of weeks. What brake pads do people recommend? Running standard discs. I run 2 other track cars with CL pads and been very impressed with them. Anyone have experience of these on a TR6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leonnewman1 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 All I can say is that I decided on yellow stuff pads but I know some others don't rate the ebc brand Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roy53 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 HAWK blue pads for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MadMarx Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 I ran EBC pads (yellow) for many years, but suddenly 2 years back from now the pads started to deteriorate on the tracks and fell apart on several occasions, TR4 and TR8. I moved on to Pagid racing pads. Fantastic. For sure much more expensive, but almost ever lasting and braking is much better and way more predictable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stephen cooper Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 I’ve used hawk and they do bite well, found them very noisy on the road though so would only recommend if happy to swap back after the track day. Still looking for a fast road pad that’s quiet ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use RS29 compound with 4 pot calipers and vented discs. Yes, more expensive but have excellent performance, are extremely durable and very kind to the discs. I just bedded a new set in yesterday ready for the Spa summer Classic. For a track day car with standard brakes you could do worse than speak to Carbotech http://carbotech-europe.com/ who have a range of compounds for "Fast Road" to "Extreme Race" conditions. I used their materials for many years with standard calipers. Dave McD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jellison Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Pagid RS42’s for a Girling 16 caliper. Just got set for when my m171 ferodos wear out (new but had for ever and no longer made, awesome). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowperil Posted May 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 I've got myself some CL pads now, the same as I use in my Clio and Alfa race cars. i'll report back on how they work with the TR6 after the trackday next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Any one in the USA want a NOS set of Girling brake Pads for TR4-6 (1/4" pin) Girling GDB525 with Mintex M75 material. I have this spec on my road going TR and am completely happy - Not all squeal and dust like the modern replacement things. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOS-Girling-Disc-Brake-Replacement-Pads-GDB525-Morgan-Plus-8-MGC-Rover-2000/233212440198?epid=1830414850&hash=item364c8b6e86:g:8XgAAOSwfbRbWk2i Cheers Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
