Post by Stevejaguar » Wed Jun 26, 2024 7:13 am

Hi, I've been reading old posts re brake pads. Mintex 1144 seem favourite over greenstuff. what are the preferred pads when Zeus 4 piston callipers are fitted to the front ?
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve, I can only tell you my experience. I use green stuff pads with fosseway 4 piston brakes with vented discs, the car can stop on a sixpence absolutely excellent, for what’s its worth I put vented discs on the rear too, a simple conversion with the irs out, thought it would help out with all the heat generated down in that area, can’t speak highly enough of that conversion.
Previously...S1 OTS E type (sold)
S1 2+2 manual. (Sold)
S2 rhd OTS full resto finished 8/23
S1 3.8 coupe (full restoration now sold)

Hi, thanks for your thoughts. I will go down that route when I get around to the brake rebuild.
