ChrisC Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Hi All I have tried to search for some information on the front pads fitted to my recent purchase, but have draw a bit of a blank. The car is an Ex-Academy 2011 sigma, with standard front brake callipers. The pad appears to be an AP Racing pad, with the markings cp3915-44-ds25hp. I am trying to find out what type of pad this is, is it a race pad then will only work well once hot? If it is then it would explain my current concern about the initial bite from my brakes. The only reference point I have for Caterham brakes was a car fitted with the CC big brake kit, some ten years ago. I am not saying my car wont stop, and I am aware the 7 does not have a servo, just they don't inspire confidence on the road, which I am sure was not a problem with my old car. It maybe a pad more suited to my usage pattern is all thats required, but if I can't find information about the fitted AP pad, its difficult to know where I am starting from. i.e. if I was starting form M1144s I know this is a good all-round road / track day pad. Hope some one can help Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 My initial thought after seeing DS25HP was that it's a Ferodo DS2500 pad or similar. And it does, indeed, seem to be a road-biased version of them: http://www.sevenman.co.uk/?p=404 I'd forgotten how goods Ferodos are as I've just stuck some DS3000s in my standard front calipers. But I don't drive my car on the road, so initial bite from stone cold isn't an issue for me, whereas feel and consistency are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 I did see that site last night, but he only lists cp3915-42-ds25hp and not 44 :-( If they are road pads I am not impressed :-( Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
