Disc Brake pads

Post by kombivan »

I have hard steel rotors so I need soft disc pads. Stock they came out with soft metal rotors and hard pads now having hard rotors I can't find any soft disc pads these days anyone know where to source them my brakes work fine just don't stop so great without standing on the pedal. I have 1989 T25 and seeking soft front brake pads so they grip.

Brake discs are made from a type of cast iron, not steel

Can't say I have ever heard of hard and soft discs. When did you last change your brake fluid? 
These should do the job.

I have TRW pads. They are quite "soft" so they are not squeaking.
