Hi mate,

Only got Brembo pads left in HPX, which is the similar sort of performance as Bendix Ultimates, just minus the dust and rotor wear. $149, plus $12.50 shipping for for the rears, or $236 for front and rear shipped.

Thanks Greg for the quick response.

How do you think the Lucas rate compared to these you are offering?

Do you sell Lucas TRW Pads?

Can't seem to find the part numbers for my car.

Anyways,

I am running Brembo pads front at the moment with RDA rotors.Stock rear.

Replacing the rears with slotted rotors and new pads.

The trouble is at the moment the Brembo pads suck..take a long time to warm up and have scared me quite often.

Car 99% street driven, fairly hard when all warms up that is...lol

No track work..a few 1/4 mile runs..that is about it.

The trouble is there are so many choices...

I am after one that works well when cold...does not fade or explode when pushed hard...has very minimum disc wear, quite and creates little to no dust.

Take care

Hi mate,

The Lucas are a very good pad, and will withstand very high temperatures. We peronally used to run the in the rally car because for the price, you couldn't go past the performance. We've now replaced them with the QFM A1RM, which is more of a dedicated performance pad, and its definately an improvement. Although the Lucas will withstand very high temperatures, its still just a very good performing street pad, and not a performance pad as such. Other problem with the Lucas is the dust.

Do you sell Lucas TRW Pads?

Yep, I think from memory (don't quote me), the TRW's for the Brembo are about $120ish/$75ish front/rear...

If the car isn't being used on the track, then the HPX will be more than enough, whilst providing good cold bite, and minimal dust. With the QFM we often forget that the HPX is the lesser of two pads when compared to the (slightly more expensive) A1RM, but the HPX still has the sort of performance of Bendix Ultimate, or Ferodo DS2500 or EBC Green stuff, but whilst remaining a very good street pad.

If dust is of concern, stick to the HPX. If dust isn't a big concern, then the TRW Lucas is definately a slightly high performing pad, but is quite dusty.

Hope that helps!

Greg

Hi Greg,

You don't reply to your emails so:

I have a problem, I just installed the pads on my GTR and there is a very load screech when braking now. This is very embarrassing and quite franking annoying.

No where on the thread does it mention that this is normal, so I can only assume that this is a manufacturing defect? please explain yourself.

Why would this be happening?

Hi mate,

That's unusual! Were they A1RM or HPX pads? How long after you fitted them did it start? Did you machine the rotors? Did you re-fit the original shims? Squeal is caused by vibration between the backing plates and the caliper itself (nothing to do with the pad material itself), and so, depending on machining tolerances, some calipers will do it not matter what pads are in it. Try some Loctite 3 (permatex) on the backing plates as often this is a better fix than the proper anti-squeal stuff.

Greg

HPX pads. Started to squeel a few weeks after, it happens under light to medium breaking. Mostly at lights or in car parks when breaking at low speed with lightish pressure. Its very high pitched and embarassing. Original shims and all that jazz.

Why use the loctite 3 instead of anti squeeling stuff? Where do i get it from?

Cheers!

Hi Harry,

Sent you the following email yesterday:

Hi Harry,

Sorry about the late reply. We had two public holidays last week so we took the week off and went testing with the team for a few days.

Yours were Brembo's weren't they? Was there any dramas with installation etc.? The pins went through the pads ok, and it all fitted fine? Never had any dramas with them at all previously, so just trying to figure out if there has been a manufacturing error. Screeching is generally harmonics between the backing plates and calipers itself, and nothing to do with the pad material. Due to variances in manufacture of both the pad and more importantly, the caliper, the pads can often get harmonics between them and the caliper, which is the screech. Pad material itself, won't make screeching noises, and can only very rarely make very low speed grinding noises, but that's not a problem we've ever had with the A1RM, and would more likely be a rock in the caliper or something.

If you can, get some anti-squeal, or what we find works well is Permatex (Loctite 3) and cover the backing plates in it before installation. Short of that I can't really think of anything else to do.

Any dramas let me know.

Regards,

Greg

Hey Greg

Are the deals still in place or has it finished... was looking at the 'HPX Front and Rear Brembo Pads. $110 + $55 + $12.50 shipping = $177.50 delivered!' Is that deal still on..

JP??

Sorry bud. Loctite 3 (or permatex as its otherwise known) is just a non-hardening gasket or sealant that can be bought at most bearing, automotive or hardware store. But pull the pads out first, give them a light rub on concrete, on BOTH sides of the pad. The type of squeal you describe is harmonics between the pad and the caliper, and nothing to do with pad material itself. Did you machine or replace the rotor with the pads?

Hi mate,

Yep, still got a couple of HPX Brembos on the shelf. Just PM your details, name, delivery address (preferably business) and email, and I can fire you through an invoice with direct deposit details etc. or else credit card over the phone is also fine.

Regards,

Greg

Hey Greg .. still waiting for a your details?

Sorry mate. Myself and the team were down at Phillip Is. for the 6 hour over the weekend, and have only just gotten back in today. Will PM straight away.

Greg

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
