when you say you are running bike brakes i am guessing you mean the disc and calibres. firstly are you running or going to run a single disc? or
twins? secondly how good do you want them as a race set up will be to much for a car i would think but i supose it will all depend on what you have
planed.. As for pads it once again comes down to what you are useing it for, if your useing it for a lot of driveing or short distance raceing on mud
or tarmac etc etc. i raced motor x for most of my life and have done a small amount of raod racing in the uk but one of my mates is a head mech in the
racing teams( lucky strike uptill 8 months ago) and what he dont know aint worth knowing if you catch my meaning.... let me know what you have planed
for them and if i cant be of any help i will try and get hold of him and see what he says..........
steff...................................

My fave are Carbon Lorraine SBK3's or The full Sintered race.
The full race work great but you have to really heat em up.They dont last overly long either.
The Carbon Lorraine SBK3's Dont need as much heating to work and also last longer.
Vesrah also do a really good full sintered race pad.You get more wear out of these.

dragbug, i am guessing the moose is useing them in a off road race car i would say that carbon will not heat up enough and with mud,water,dust etc
they just won't work, on a bike yea that kick ass but on a car set up???......

what I'm using them for is off road racing. 85% of braking force is on the rear but I still need the front to work a little...lol. The car stops well
but it go though pads to fast so I was hoping some had some idea how to over come this. So far I have used standard stuff from the locial bike shop
but the cost is $70 a pair and I will use 2 sets a race:duh so all in all what I'm looking for is something that will last over something that
stops....lol

Point taken,
The brand is Carbon Lorraine tho,not the compound.
I do use them on my fireblade,and i can say that it doesnt go anywhere near mud!
All depends on what calipers he's running aswell hey...

Yeah that sounds about right.......
if it helps the part number is 037, I don't know if this works like car pads as in 1085 for commodore.
so what do you thinks best given all this info.....lol... I'm happy to try them all but a good head start will be welcomed:P
