Brake pad recommendations

[T16]

My own personal opinion having used EBC in the past is I think they are **** and wouldnt go near them again.
I found Ferodo a much better pad for my personal tastes, and Carbotech XP8 were alright too I guess. (they make up custom sizes to anything you want)
Now as I get even older, and do not take anything on a track, I prefer the nice bite from cold of the OE friction material.
1) guide pins 28nm
2) Hose to caliper 16nm
3) Caliper to Hub 100nm
4) Torx bolt for disc 33nm
5) wheel nuts 125nm

Thanks so much for those torque values 👍

There was lot of knock off EBC stuff a couple of years back. So much so that the recommendation was to buy from EBC direct. I don't know who or where they make the pads.

Ferodo - my set squeal at low speeds and is especially annoying in covered car parks but they do seem a bit quieter recently.

Well I went with the Red Stuff pads to see how they get on. So far done about 50 miles or so local driving with no big stops as per the recommendations for bedding in. After 100 or so miles they say to perform hard braking from 60 down to 20/30mph a couple of times to finalise the bedding in process. I shall report back my review of their performance once I've managed to put some more miles and proper braking into them.
