Help me diy fit new pads to my V6S

[Antflies 0]

Does anyone know if the 2017 Evora brake pads are the same as the 2017 Exige CUP?

[Seriouslylotus 445]

No the Evora 400 cars use bigger pads than the Exige V6, The earlier S1 Evora used the same pads as Exige V6

Hi there,

Sorry but just been reading this! And this is my opinion ! not meaning to rude, nor flippant in any way shape or form! Honestly.

But Sorry but you don't seem to sure of anything to do with the task of changing your pads,

Now your car would of cost more than 50K

The brakes are the only things that stop you hitting something else!

Labour time to fit new would be somewhere between .75 to 1 hour  book time

just get them done. then you are 100 % sure.

Sorry if that seems a bit blunt, but as an MOT tester I have seen the results of someone having a go!

I can actually imagine the guy stood in front of you saying the brakes are a bit noisy but do stop the car ok

That is hilarious!  LMAO   I'm sure the backing will stop that car terrific.

@Antflies--Anthony, I highly recommend Cobalt pads, they  have the correct sizes for the V6 with 2-piece rotors and several different compounds.

Conversion chart for selection of compound based upon competitor pads...... http://www.cobaltfriction.com/category_s/1911.htm

You will want AP7 for the front and AP27 for the rear -- even though it's the same AP caliper front and rear --  the Cup 2-piece rotors for the rear have a larger diameter hat than the fronts, hence the need for a slightly narrower annulus for the rear pads...51mm vs 55mm, (rear vs and front, respectively) to be exact.  Otherwise the rear pad backing plate will make slight contact with the center hat bobbins.

I recommend compound XR4, but you can decide if you want a more aggressive compound

Order info: Cobalt XR4 | AP7 | AP Racing CP6600D55 | 16.8mm

 Cobalt XR4 | AP27 | AP Racing CP6600D51 | 16.8mm

Thanks Jack.

Andy from Cobalt was extremely helpful. He actually told me your front/rear selection.

I managed to get CL RC6 for front, and CL RC5+ for rear.

Seriouslylotus stock them for our car.  They are in England, and no VAT is charged.

@Antflies--Anthony --- [email protected] and [email protected] are both great.

Brake pads are a personal preference, I tired the CL's long ago on my 211 and didn't like them.

 I have also experimented with different compounds and brands on the V6 over the past 4 years...never felt the need to go with a more aggressive pad on the rear with the CupR.  Ultimately settled on the  XR4 compound Cobalt pads...more aggressive pads were "too" aggressive upon initial  application. This resulted  in over-slowing the car, due to the vacuum booster acting as an on/off switch....modulation was virtually impossible.  Hence my recent decision to ditch the booster and go with a dual master/brake-cage setup.  For that setup, [email protected] suggested running a more aggressive Cobalt compound. 

We will have 3 CupR's at Spring Mountain running the non-boosted peddle-box which really increases the resolution of the brake peddle.
