old captain slow Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Just had Pagid RS15s fitted to the front with 1155s rear. Seem fine on the road and even get a good grip of the disks from cold. Seem to squeal a bit just driving along though. Noted that the pads come with a leaflet that says "not approved for road use". I guess that doesn't mean not suitable for use on the road which is an entirely different thing. Next stop Cadwell to try them out. Whoohoo! 😬 C7 CDW Edited by - David W on 12 Sep 2006 14:02:39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 My RS15s squeel in slow traffic like a stuck-pig. I think it is partly a function of the rather-loose pad mounting in the HiSpec Ultralite 4's. The 'not approved' bit is something to do with regulations stating that cars built post 199x (can't remember the date) must be fitted with pads that meet or exceed the performance of the original-fit items. That's a load of hassle to obtain certification for, I'd guess. Project Scope-Creep is live...

nickh7 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I've got Pagids and they knock and bang about a low speed *mad*in the Alcons but boy do they stop you 😬 Its Yellow and Black and makes me 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_bow Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I have the AP calliper on front and standard on rear (I think) but looks like the Pagid site say I need RS14 not RS15. Is it okay for RS15 as 90% is track use. Why is the rears 1155's Lastly where do you get them from, Fluke Motor Sport list them but can you get them anywhere else that will sell you something that will not fit.

Support Team Shaun_E Posted August 31, 2006 Support Team Share Posted August 31, 2006 Performance Braking Ltd: 01600 713117 They will give you good advice. I went for RS15s for the front and RS14s for the rear - I have AP 4 pots at the front and standard Caterham calipers at the rear. I have fitted the fronts but haven't got around to fitting the rears and braking is fine if a little front biased - I expect once I fit the RS14s to the rear the balance will be close to perfect. Incidently, so far my fronts do not squeal at all. Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old captain slow Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 Steve the 1155s were Redline advice. I'm trying them at Cadwell on Monday week so I can let you know about balance then. Redline supplied and fitted them. C7 CDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbutnotslow Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I have 15's on the front (AP 4 pots) and 14's on the rear (standard) and they are superb My car is used only on the track only these days. No fade at all. They need a bit of heat before they work properly though. So much better than the Mintex 1144's that I was using before. They are quite a bit more expensive than the Mintex but worth every penny in my view. I was at Cadwell on Wednesday. YBNS and I covered 212 miles and that with a 2 hour stop because an old Porker dropped oil from the exit of Barn to the Mountain. Great day for us. 😬 😬 😬 Grant Taylor OBNS Motorsport www.OBNS.co.uk 😬 183 BHP of Black and 'Stone Chip' excitement. 😬 here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrem Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Steve_bow, I have a brand new set of Pagid RS14s for the AP 4-pots you can have for £90 if you're interested? Cheers, Lionel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old captain slow Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 Had the car at Cadwell yesterday. Baking hot and fnatastic levels of grip all round. RS15s on the front and 1155s on the rear seem very nicley balanced. Very pleased with the RS15s. Absolutely no fade and awsome stopping power compared to Green Stuff. Scared myself silly on the approach to the Cramer Curves seeing how late I could leave it before putting on the anchors. Very late is the answer and only one excursion onto the grass as a result of finding that I could not scrub off speed between the turn in cone (set too early for a 7) and the actual turn in point - but it was close. 😬 Fortunately my co-pilot was watching at the Mountain so did not see these attempts or I think she would have had me black flagged in the interests of not claiming on the life insurance.
