rear pads...any good ones?


Recommended Posts

PBR Metal Master's

 

 

I know they are backordered up here in Canada for the rear, but you may be able to find some down there.

 

I run PBR Metal Masters, with Brembo rotors on my Rally Car. I have come to the end of a stage, with the smell of brakes in the air, and rotors probably glowing red. I didn't experience any fade at all during the stage....Although i am running Motul brake fluid...so that helps a pile.

 

The metal masters are cheap...around $50 a set in CDN....Probably like 35 for you guys...maybe less...

you guys will get a nice post on the rally car when i drag it back from up north.

 

We finished the thing soo quickly, we weren't able to take many pics.

 

It's up north with a blown head gasket now....i'm gonna drag it back in a couple weeks.

 

 

The Brembos are OEM replacements. However the brembos are made to a VERY high standard. yes..you can buy crappy rotors for like 20 bucks..but they are some crappy castings from taiwan or korea. For the price of the Brembos (about $50 cdn each) they are well worth the money.

 

Going to a Slotted or Cross-drilled rotor actually decreases your stopping power with todays pad formulations. Cross-drilled rotors will crack (because NONE of them are cast with the holes). Slotted..you will just eat up your pads quicker. Normal "blanks" are the Best braking performance you can get, they just don't "bling"

I just bought a set of Axxis Metal Masters for the front and haven't installed them yet. But anyways I just wanted to know where you found Metal Masters for the rear because I looked everywhere with no luck. Please post a link to an online shop that I can buy them from. I tried brakewarehouse.com and that is where I bought my front brakepads. Also, do they make Axxis Ultimates for our EA82 powered cars? Couldn't find any of those neither.
