Arrow Project Mu

Has anyone had any experience with these brake pads?

Keen to pick a set up to match my DBA T3 4000 ClubSpec rotors, but not sure if they're really worth $200 a set.

Cheers

The dealer I bought my 86 from had them on his GTS he flogged around winton. A bit noisy when cold, but stopping power was great, no fade, still had plenty of meat on them afterwards too - i saw them

Ahhh forgive me for this opinion but when it comes to brake pads you decide firstly what kind of pad you want/need then you pay what ever the price. There is no point getting a pad that doesn't meet your requirements.

Also neither you nor RyleyMA61 specify which Project Mu pads. According to their website there are 3 to choose from.

From everything I heard about them 1st hand, they are amazing
I'm putting remsa (europe not usa) pads in on Friday, lets see how they go. From what I have seen and read about them, amazing, but very dusty

It's okay Captain Snooze, I know you like to put your 2 cents in on each of my posts. I'm use to it by now.

But you are not addressing my concern. Which Project Mus are you referring to? Are you suggesting that all 3 types available for the 86/BRZ have the same characteristics?

Ah. Ok. According to their website Type NS are $179 so I am assuming you are referring to those. According to their site "with low noise/dust properties".

Those are the ones...
But then again, Hawk do ceramic HP pads with low dust properties...
They're half the price too...

NS are not really that great.. you are paying mostly for the Pmu name ..
its like project MU greenstuff. 0- 400C only!

If you have no money.. get Intima SR6300.. 280 for a FULL SET front and rear - 700 degree pad.



HC+ are good.
