[Mk2] [NA] Were to get decent pads for n/a

[Manhoolee2000]

Looking for a set of decent track pads
Were can i get a set for
Mk2 mr2 n/a 1993 import rev3
Any idea's

[Donato]

Genuine pads are good, you could try Fensport/Camskill or Rogue motorsport for some pads. Should have them listed on their website

EBC sell yellows cheap on ebay which is what I would go for in an N/A
I will guarantee people will tell you to stay away from these but I have used these on 4 trackdays in a rev 2 N/A and have never had any fade and could brake to the point of locking up every time.

they are £65 for the fronts and £53 for the rears
Item numbers you want:
110777601541

Carbotechs...end of.

[HighwayStar]

If you can't afford the massively expensive Carbotechs go for standard new Toyota but from TCB parts.... Trevor has just got in some very well priced stock from Mr T and was my cheapest and best option a month or so ago...
a lot cheaper than the EBC pads above.

I've used the Mintex M1144 pads from Camskill on a track day with good results.

[Manhoolee2000]

thanks for the replies !
not sure now what to do! lol
Mintex looks like for me anywayz carbotec bee too much on an n/a!

[JohnnyC]

Carbotech AX6 or XP8
Ferodo DS2500
Mintex 1144

Carbotech too much for n/a.....? Once you're braking down from a given figure n/a and tubby behave the same all other things being equal.

I'd drop Chris Wilson an email, his custom fast road pads are very good and not silly money either. [email protected]

Yes if you are cruising this is true but if you are accelerating and then straight onto the brakes the inertia of the car with the greater rate of acceleration will need more braking.

I have never done a track day but I would assume cruising is not the done thing.

[HighwayStar]

Inertia is to do with the speed of the car not its rate of acceleration. A tubby at say 70 will decelerate in the same way as a n/a at 70. Unless you're overlapping your acceleration and braking then acceleration has nothing to do with it. Of course a tubby may well be going faster at a particular point due to its quicker acceleration but then it'll also have to be on its brakes sooner...

As you say it doesn't really mater how much hp you have if you're braking from the same speed. The only difference is that the turbo car is a little heavier, so the lighter weight non turbo should pull up slightly quicker.

Yes I meant velocity not inertia but the fact remains, 2 objects at 60mph, one is cruising the other has rapidly accelerated there, one will have greater velocity and require more braking from the same speed.

[HighwayStar]

No. The same speed is the same speed. Unless the throttle is still being depressed on one of them 2 objects doing 60 will require the same amount of braking if everything else is equal.

[ashley]

LOL at this thread! How can it make any difference to the braking force required if you got to that speed in 5 seconds, or in half an hour?! Your speed and mass determine your inertia, and hence the force required to stop...end of.

And no- carbotechs are not too much for an NA, they are fantastic- best mod I did on my track car

[Super_red]

I'm not seeing it. There is a lot of reciprocating mass in a car and this stores energy. This is why big brake kits like to use light weight 2 peice discs. Its also why manufacturesrs publish BHP figures that are taken from engines being held at a particular rev rather than a trypical rolling road or engine dyno plot where the engine accelerates to the red line.

We have all seen it, take your foot off the throttle while cruising and the effects are much more immediate than if you take your foot off after heavy acceleration.

[HighwayStar]

You're wrong and I'm going to bed.
Sorry.

[JohnnyC]

I'd say he's right

But in the real world I doubt it'd make a huge difference unless you're a world class racing driver.

[Nic]

2 identical cars, identical brakes, identical tyres, same mass, traveling at the same speed, 1 car has 100hp the other has 500hp, both cars brake at the same time, both cars stop at the same point.

MR2 3SGTE Curb weight - 1,262 kg
MR2 3SGE Curb weight - 1,179 kg

As the turbo MR2 is heavier so has a greater mass, everything else being equal it will have a longer stopping distance. Power doesn't come into the equation.
