Brake Pads

I did a write up on handbrake shoe and cable fitting, it's on here somewhere Dave.

I know how to change the shoes and fittings, just wonder what make of shoes are best to fit? Did them on the 2.0 with cheap ones and they weren't the best.
 
Oh ok, sorry mate. I used Pagid on my 2.0 had no problem.

I've got Red Stuff pads (on Black Diamond grooved discs), work fantastically when hot not so good when cold, need to stand on the middle pedal, low dust output, but expensive. Probably OK if your driving hard all the time or do track days but not for just cruising around. Wont use them again
 
It will really depend how you drive. The green stuff and yellow stuff need a little heat before they are at their best. The Pagid and Mintex are good but they are not any good for prolonged heavy braking. My Pagids were fine until i booted it around the passes in the Alps then they were just a major issue. I had to then take it steady as every time i was pushing the Zed the brakes became a problem, driving normally they were no issue at all
