Brakes Rouche Pads...

ROESCH BRAKE - Caratteristiche_tecniche

They do 1.4/1.8/2.2 front/rear = FN2 rear
They also do EP3 front for the FN2.

Just bought some rears...sound too good to be true

The innovation of which we are especially proud is the creation of the performance brake pad built using Kevlar* carbon ceramic, which does not vitrify, never burns and provides uniform performance.

Roesch are probably the best kept secret in the performance brake pad industry, the brake pads offering tremendous feel and they never seem to fade even under the most extreme circumstance. The pads can be on fire and they still provide amazing stopping power. StrikeEngine recommended. Roesch have a massive Civic brake pad catalogue including pads for the Civic Si, ESi, VTi, Type-R, EJ, EK, EG, EP and FN Civic

Look good mate - Like you say maybe too good to be true???

£100 for front - Let us know what they are like mate???

You sticking with y/s for front then?

[Relic]

I replaced the fronts about 6 months ago so probbaly got another 18 months to go on them yet.
Supposedly these pads are very good a reducing the temps of the brake fluid.
Which is an issue with the brakes.
They are rated to 900c+ too.

Who knows...

Pads finally arrived yesterday.
After staring a paypal claim on thursday after I had heard nothing for ages and when I contacted them they said they received 0 order and 0 funds.
Despite showing them their online receipt I printed off and the paypal confirmation of payment.
Although the money went out of my account on the date I ordered 26/07/2012.
:/

Would I have ever got anything without starting a claim ???

sorry mate i missed this post! sound good

Props to you Relic - I thought everyone with a DERV was giving anything made of Kevlar a wide berth!

[Relic]

They are actually a cocktail of carbon, cermanic and kevlar laced with other items for different purposes.
Just finished fitting.
More life on my pads then I thought.... at least another 6 months.
Better get the file ready for the rusty disks with these.

ROESCH brake pads are produced by moulding a compound of various elements such as Kevlar* with organic and inorganic fibres which form the structure of the pad and are efficient at low temperatures, and then adding carbon-ceramic fibres which stabilize the friction coefficient at high temperatures, thanks to their rapid heat dissipation. Kevlar* also makes the structure of the pad extraordinarily strong, resulting in a product with a constant composition and consistent performance and, at the same time is highly resistant to fracture.

Although extremely hard, Kevlar* is non-abrasive, so that the brake pad is far less aggressive against the disks than other materials. During the pressing process, all the various fibres become woven together in a perfectly tight bond, so that they cannot become detached from each other or from the steel plate due to fatigue or the stress caused by friction.

The mixture is completed by a highly-ductile compound, which also contains rubber-based substances and lubricants, which constantly adapts to the surface of the disk, thus preventing local overheating, variations in the coefficient of friction, vibration and noise.

Another extremely important aspect is that all these elements are in the form of microgranules, to which an exclusive production process gives a special shape that, after moulding to the steel plate, creates microscopic are pockets within the structure of the pad. This makes it possible to dissipate even more heat, since the temperature is distributed uniformly over the entire surface of the pad, which also prevents fading. In addition, these microscopic air pockets make the braking surface porous and thus maintain grip, so that the pad is as good as new each time the brakes are applied. Naturally, this production process requires highly-sophisticated machinery and precise pressures, without which the structural characteristics of the compound would be impossible.

The result of this process is a product whose main characteristic is the stability of the coefficient of friction at all temperatures. This translates into progressive deceleration either when braking just once or repeatedly, without any sudden increase in grip, which would reduce control of the vehicle, nor sudden lack of grip, which would be even more dangerous. The sensitivity of the brake pedal, too, is increased, so that the vehicle can be slowed gradually and under full control.

With ROESCH brake pads, the temperature generated by the braking system is 30% lower than with other pads - and it is often difficult to ascertain the maximum resistance because the heat is dissipated so efficiently. And lower temperatures reduce the expansion and thus vibration of the discs.

Sound good, shame about the customer service side of it

[coste1l]

i want some!

This is very true.
I might have been a one off.
They ship from italy where they are based.
Perhaps they are not really cut out for international trade yet.

Still..when you think of people waiting a year for stufff from touge

Top of page > click UK flag > online shop > select the model.
Suzuki is right at the end.
Might be best to contact them first

Win7/ie prob needs to be in compatibility mode.

mwa <3

[coste1l]

lol the car list isnt alphabetical it starts off like that and then fails... i thought suzuki wasnt listed, the site doesnt like chrome thats for sure

[coste1l]

nope no price listed??

[Relic]

I know...try contacting them ?

Explain yourself!
