Alternative brake-pads

[MvM]

I have a '94 NSX with BBS-RSII rims, 17 front and 18 in the rear. Tires are 215/40 front and 265/35 rear.
I would like to have brake-pads that could/would give me better braking than the stock pads. After reading the posts here I would go for the RM-pads but I'm not sure if they are available in Europe.

Define: 'better braking'

Michel,
Better braking as in less fade when you've been braking (reasonable) hard a couple of times. Also, a bit more initial bite when applying pressure on the pedal would be nice (but not necessarily a must).

The problem Is that you can put every pads that you want in the original calipers but if you have the rotor that going in Vibration they will push out the piston caliper conseguence poor braking power.
Like I told you if you different pads First retify the rotor and after put new pads

Maarten,

I put a set of Ferrodo 2500's in before i went to Italy.
They definetely have less fading, but for the brakingpower, i do not see huge differences.

For fast driving, i think it's better like this. I also have the Peugot 206 GTI, and if you hit the brakes on that one, you'll find youre head on the windscreen. No good for spirrited driving, WOW, no feeling in the brake pedal.

Might be a personal preference though.

Don't forget also to put steel brake line kit you will have more hard pedal.
In Monza I tried the MOTUL RACING OIL DOT 6.1 and Worked realy good try it.
Before I had Castrol dot 4
But the better if you can find its the Castrol SFR

If it's for street use only, I can highly recommend Accord Type-R pads.
They cost half as much as stock NSX pads and perform beautifully. I run them myself...

Guus,
I'm actually going to the track (first time) on August 3rd (Lelystad) and am planning to go to the Assen-trackday on Octobre 26th. Am also thinking about following the training from Prodrive. It's for those things that I would like to have brake-pads to perform a bit better than standard. A bigger/better brake-system is at the moment not (yet) an option for me unfortunately.
