Yeah, the bite of the XP12 was less than the stock Brembo pads on the RS, lol. I'd have preferred something better (I knew they weren't going to do well, but they'd at least last a weekend unlike the stock pads), but had no options as it was a kinda last minute thing.
Do you have experience with ST-43s, Mike? I'm debating having a set custom made for the RS, and probably running a set on my GTI once I kill the XP10s in it (It's awesome having a light weight slow car, consumables are CHEAPPPP!!!!) |
I do. They're not my top choice in pad though; the modulation range is rather small.
How about trying a set of R18?
