    Pad recommendation for rally car with Brembos

    Not sure if this is right area for recommendations so please move if needed.
    I've got Brembo 4 pot calipers (from Focus/Fia coupe/Alfa) on 296mm discs on the front of a 1600 RWD rally car and I'm starting with normal road pads. Can anyone recommend suitable pads for sprinting and tarmac rallying that won't break the budget.

    Cheers Chris

    for sprinting all you need is standard road pads, as for tarmac rallying not so sure, done lots of sprinting done lots of racing but never a rally

    Mintex 1144 or 1155 if heavy on brakes.
    Ferodo ds2500
    Ebc yellow stuff.
    Would be good pads to try

    Good recommendations. We'll be working on buddy's new rally car soon after we finished installing the suspension from 4Wheelonline onto his Jeep project and clear the garage. Looks like Mintex 1155 pads are good ones.

    I use 1155 on few cars. Great pad but for the dust they make. Rallycar are always dirty anyway.
