yeah best price ive found is 450 for front and rear sets

RC8R for Alcon are 4002 ones. You can find much better price than that on the web  (RC8R 4002 in google) but they are higher price than others. The RC8 are identical but with no grooves on the back for cooling.

Pads that i have used :
Alcon :
Front or/and Rear : Pagid RS4-2 and RS14, type U1203
Front or/and Rear : Mintex C-Tech M1144 MDB1456
Front : Carbone Lorraine RC8R type 4002 (very agressive/high friction coeff)

"Competition rear" :
Mintex C-Tech M1144 MDB1343
EBC Greenstuff DP2662/2

Hope this helps.

wow thos carbone lorraine pads are £270 a set

is the "type 4002" the part number

i need to order a set of pads and considering im running wider tyres i want a more aggressive pad

i prefer the agressive RC8R but some drivers do not like them at all because to much agressive (less pressure on the pedal) and need some experience to prevent from wheels lock. The Mintex that are on my v8 at the moment are good but with little heat fadding on hard track driving.

Can you please tell us your expiriences with the different pad's?

Thanks
Ralf

I just upgraded to alcons all round, do you recomend the same pads for rear and front?
had comps front and rear before and when I run car on track I would get more wear on the rear pads... do you find this on the alcons as well? and would that mean that a harder pad would be better for the rears?

Having read all the post in this thread and others on the same subject, there seems to be inconsistant reports by those who can and those who can't 'lock their rears under braking.

Maybe it would be useful to know what tyres are fitted and even tyre temperatures as this is bound to be a factor. E.g. isn't it more difficult to lock slicks than it is to lock wets?

The pads are designed for fast road, light circuit, they have higher spec pads 1166 for race track, but not for road use.

The Atom is only light weight, i'm guessing that the pads should be able to stand up to  trackday conditions.

Changing the rear pads is only a 15 mins job per wheel !!!
