Just got my rs15s in the post - loadsa warning about not for road use - I presume I ignore this!!!Anyone used them yet???

Yep, using them on my car for a few track days now.I felt they didn’t have the initial bite of RS14s, and needed a bit more work (some may call that “less grabby, and more progressive”) I think they’re pretty tough on your discs too… so be warned !

Are the RS15’s are avavilable for the rear now ?Not that i need any, i still have brand new RS14’s on mine, well apart from the drive around the garden to clear the rust of the disks [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/wink.gif[/image]

Yep, rears are now available.

Just got some new RS14’s off Geary and fitted them today. Glad I actually took the pads out of the calipers to clean them as there was “plenty” left in the groove but the brass rivets were just starting to show on the face.Also noticed that the pad area is slightly different to the last lot i got. They are now radius’d at the bottom instead od being square. The efferct of this is that the new ones actually have a slightly smaller swept area than the ones i had on before. Can’t think of any good reason for this?
