Slipper pads - red/white.

[mikeyscott]

Can someone remind me the differences between the red and white slipper pads etc.

[RogerM]

White is a higher friction material compared to the white.

Cheers for the info.

Food for thought, my FS is built as spec at mo with a red & white pad etc.

RE my vega, I can't remember lol

White is a higher friction material compared to the white.
No, it's the opposite :D

:confused:

I hate to tell you lads but white is not higher than white because they are both white.....
I use white in all my cars.
I find the red a bit too course for my style of driving

Cheers, may try white/white this weekend.

LOL ... the joys of posting in my 25min lunch break whilst trying to eat :)

White is higher friction than red ....

In 4wd I run red to the front, white to the rear with unpinned slipper (never been able to get on with the pinned slipper or the same pads Fr/Rr with a diff in the front personally ... I need a bit more give in the front when braking to suit my style).
Of course if you run the slipper pinned it doesn't really matter if the pads are mis-matched as there is no relative movement possible.

In the 2wd car I always run them paired up, white/white 98% of the time and only go red/red when I REALLY need to have the car slipping a long time after each corner.

Never tried pinned and won't be this weekend.

I landed a spare car with 3 x slippers etc. so I may build a couple of options. i.e. white / white, unpinned and the standard kit setting etc and test.

Shame it's not so easier to get it out now with the new carbon fibre top deck.

[DaSloth]

The carbon fibre top deck is no harder than the standard one to remove?!? :confused:

[mikeyscott]

No I'm not ref the top deck being hard to remove, with the standard deck you don't have to remove it in order to take the slipper unit out.
