Clio Sport 182
Just thought id post up a bit of info about these pads on here as I couldn't find any posts about them. I know people have used the RC6 pads and say that they work very well but squeal badly. I received my new pads from Kam Racing, about a week ago. Until now I have been using standard pads with the standard discs.
I removed the old pads and fitted the new ones, pretty easy to do once i had a look at it (im certainly no mechanic). I cleaned the calipers down and applied plenty of copper grease. Since fitting the pads I have covered about 400 miles and i have to say that as soon as I had fitted them they were biting better from cold than the standard pads. They do have a fairly progressive feel to them and it's not a case of on or off braking but when you really plant your foot make sure you have your seat belt on!!! Serious stopping power
As for brake squeal, there is a little bit but sometimes it's not there at all and when it is it ain't too loud especially with engine noise, stereo and other road noise. I kept my standard discs on as they are still in good condition and the surface is good and flat.
I had read posts saying that the brake dust will eat you're wheels, not sure about this yet as it's too early to say but I wash my car often so hopefully it's fine.
Sorry if this is a little boring or long winded, just thought i'd post my findings up.
