Post by goo » Tue Jun 12, 2012 9:32 pm

Hi if anyone could please share with me, what size pads or brand and model brake pads you got for your jbt big 4. i am currently using ferodo ds2500 racing, but it takes time for it to heat up cos for city driving, and my braking distance is long.

thanks alot for your help. could pm me or post here. :)

The higher the temp pad, the longer it takes to warm up. 300deg is sufficient for sg driving. Unless lotsa last min hard braking.

Thanks for replying, thats wat i read too. But those selling brake pads, insist on me getting high temp 800 deg pads, better friction, it takes 50deg to warm it up... Confused
