Volvo 740 Brake pads recommendation


Zee

Recommended Posts

Anybody racing a Volvo 740?

 

I need a lead on brake pads suitable for HPDE/tract day use.

 

All I can find is EBC "Greenstuff", which are not recommended for track.

 

Porterfield, Hawk, Ferodo, Mintex, etc. don't seem to make a race application for the 740, just the 140/240 series.

 

What pads can I use?

 

Have a 1989 Volvo 740 Turbo Sedan, w/ABS. I beleive the "big brkae" version. Will have to check to see if Girling or Bendix.

EBC's are fine, but see if you can get some yellowstuff instead of greenstuff.

 

 

Thanks. I have quit running this Volvo for now, as I bought a former SCCA ITB Ford Escort.

 

In the meantime, I learned my Volvo 740tic has the Girling calipers, for which nobody makes a track or competiton pad. For the Bendix caliper, some folks like Carbotech and Porterfield make things.

 

Each said they can custom make a set for the Girling calipers at $140 a set.
