I have a fun research of the brake pads around the world:

I ordered a set of AP 4 Pot caliper from legandary Ric Shaw in Sydney. I have not seen them yet but pic will come sooner or later.

I have a problem. I am looking through the pads that available for that particular model and none of them is familiar to me. By the way, I track a lot and drive little on street so I guess a mini race pad is ok.

First is SBS (sounds like a TV station in Australia)

This pad actually comes with the kit supplied by Ric but not sure which model at the moment... I hope is ProTrack.

Also is Fedoro.

I am more into the DS3000E and DS2500 which is avail in my shape of AP caliper is not bad too.

Lastly there is Pigid

I lost track of the pad material I like to use. They have more pad material available then hair care product.

Please advice.... if you have used this pad before. No need to ask me question about the caliper since I have not used them.... I will put the thread of the AP caliper when I have them.

Thanks very much in advance

Fedoro is big in the european game. well trusted by those guys so it must be good. think of it two ways

1-you get what u pay for
2-its all in the material

Thanks for your help

I wonder if I post in Europe forum I will have a different response.

After a lot of searching and emailing to Japan. I found 2 companies in Japan making pads for AP Racing 6600. For 5200 there are a lot but clearance for stock wheel can be a problem.

Project Mu

and

Seido Ya (R master)

Seido Ya is huge in Japan and they are Ferrari of pads - twice as expensive, twice as good.
Project mu is more economical and just good enough
