The RC8 is NOT for road use (see specification )
Designed to cope with the most demanding applications in _professional motor spor_t such as WRC, WTCC, BTCC, LMS & NASCAR or any application involving high vehicle weights (900kg+) and high initial braking speeds. Very high and stable friction level that will help shorten braking distances. The RC8 is also available with the highly effective �R grooved backing plate option.

As I said !!! Trailing the brakes
[quote=seriouslylotus]Unfortunately not urban legend!!
Also the 4060 front pads are NOT lotus Elise/Exige fitment, Thats why they rattle!!!Yes they go in but…
They are about 1mm shorter than they should be.
Why do I sell them
Because I dint want to turn people away, they will buy parts from somewhere else if they cant get what they want.
The 5038 4 pot pads are also to thick to go in the caliper and need to be rubbed down by about 1mm so they will go in. [/quote]
My 4060 front pads don’t rattle & never have, and they fitted AOK
I didn’t use 5038, I used 4115 so no problems here either !!

How the fook do you know how I drive, Mike? On the same trackday, AndyD had exactly the same problem, & I do know how he drives By the way, trailing the brakes has it’s place, but being an ex racing driver I thought you’d know all about that, & “left foot braking” Our experiences would appear not to have been isolated cases either! In any event, I would expect “race pads” to be able to cope with trail braking.
No problem whatsoever you liking CL pads, & neither should it be a problem for others to describe their real world actual experiences with a view to helping other members of exiges.com.
Podge do you try and be an argumentative annoying sod on purpose, or is it just a natural trait??
Funny how many peeps mentioned just the same at Con’s wake, yesterday

5038 are for the 4 pots
4060 are for old lotus 2 pots not the current 2 pot (ie elsie and exige s1/s2)measurements taken show they are about 1mm to small
4115 elise/exige rears

Or SBS, nor with Mintex, but what the heck does some rationality matter? 
Anyway Mr Garthwaite - get back to the fettling shop!
The front pads are too thick.
Still, I banged them in with a hammer and drove them for a few miles to wear them down.
This boiled the fluid which then let me down the following day at Druid’s which resulted in altered pants colour.
Hence move to PF

No, no, no, you mustn’t do that Mike, please! There’s room for everyone on here - we’re mainly a bunch of eccentrics who’ve known each other for ages. We’re all looking forward to making your acquaintance in Anglesey, so keep the banter coming
