Need Brake Pads Before the weekend

Postby daffyflyer » Fri Sep 18, 2009 3:07 pm

Going on a big drive with the MX5 club on sunday, and just found out my front brake pads are shagged.


Carco only has stockers or cheap generic ones in stock at the moment - any idea where i might get pads that aren't sh*t on a friday night?

Im think repco/autobarn etc. might have something, but what sort of semi decent, able to be used at track day pad might they have? (bendix ultimates any good?)

personally I'd just grab some OEM equivalents.

I havent been able to get my stockers to fade yet, and I was trying to make then fade to see where their limit was!
