Brake Pads

[stoneyfordni]

im looking to change the front pads on my compressor , from what i have found only black diamond , EBC and Brembo make aftermarket ones , i will never use EBC again , the Brembo ones take a month to get here and no one will give me a price for them and im not familiar with black diamond.

preferred makes would be the likes of the ferrodo DS range or Pagid blues but they dont list a pad for the CTS/TSC , so im wondering does anyone know if the caliper for the CTS/TSC is used in another corollaor toyota in the vain hope they are listed on the pad manufacturers site as another car ,

any info is appreciated , especially views on what pads you have used ,

When i went to buy pads i was told it was the standard corolla pad even for the t sports, and that's what i was sold, this was from toyota

I'm on Mintex all round Discs & Pads's, not really a performance part but better than the OEM brakes, costs £200 all in.

When i went in he had them on the shelf, which is unusual for anything concerning the t sport in the republic, most Toyota garages havnt heard of them round my parts, ask is it a jap import. Said they were standard pads on that car. He asked for the chassis number to check. Bit disappointed considering its kind of a sports car but there you go

In terms of releative sizing, here's a pic of my green stuff ones when I ordered them. I don't have a pic of the OE ones from when I removed them as they near enough disintegrated as soon as I touched them :(
