AP Racing brakes on a CSL - what spec pads??
Hi guys.
I’m ordering new pads for my CSL which has APs all round but I’m not sure what spec pads to order. Does anyone have any info which may help me know what to buy? I’d be grateful for any advice. I’m a bit stuck! Thanks everyone. Joseph AKA Smokey Beer |

Hi khooni. I should have phrased the question more accurately. I’m running the Pagids at the moment but they aren’t really holding up with the heavy braking at the Ring. It’s really the caliper size or spec I’m trying to work out so I can experiment with other pads.
Sorry, should have been clearer. |

Are you sure they are RS29s as I have this brake kit and regularly do 'ring trips and Snetterton (which is even harder on brakes) and have no issues - it's like hitting a brick wall.
Are you sure it isn't your fluid?

Yeah stopping power is good enough, but they just don’t last that long. I’m trying to figure out what the caliper spec is so I can look at other pads.

Ferodo DSUNO is a good alternative to the RS29....

Heat of the discs will speed wear, or another way of putting a it, the quality of your braking !

I've been using RS29's for 5 years at the ring. i entirely agree with their lack of longevity and they also destroy rotors very quickly but boy they're awesome and specifically at the ring no pad has come close for agressive braking and confidence building. If you do discover a set up for AP's that are superior overall then 29's i would be eager to know. |
