Brake Pads suggestions for stock Lucas front calipur
Just redid the brakes using stainless lines, RaceBrake 2 piece rotors (slotted) in front, ECS slotted in rear. Pads; PAGID RS19 yellow in front and PAGID Orange in rear. The idea was to find a set to use for street and 3-4 track events per year. So far the rears are great, excellent feel and very quiet. The front has superior stopping power over stock and great feel. Its also very quite while run on high speed stops like on the bed in (110 to 50 per PAGID'S bed in procedure) , however for driving around town with average low effort pedal they squeal REALLY loud. I've used generous amounts of the sticky material on the backing of the pad, and I'm pretty sure the squeal is purely from the face of the pad on the rotor...when its hot like you would have at a track day they are fine, but not for the street.
I've also tried cleaning the rotors...no squeal for 15 minutes...then once the dust builds up we're back to the very LOUD squeal. So...thinking about taking out the RS19's and using them only for track days, and maybe getting the Carbotech Bobcats, Hawk HPS, or ???? for the every day pads. Any suggestions on a fix for the RS19's, or alternate every day pad greatly appreciated.
I'm fine with a bit of sound from the pads but the RS19's on my car are screamers unless you trounce on them.

Yeah, No squealing at all around town so far, and they don't hesitate at all to stop the car.
I got them from Brian at Avalon Motorsports because I was getting rear rotors from him as well. There are a couple other places that sell them too, but I dont remember them off the top of my head.
