ELIG brake pads now in stock.
There are two compounds available 2021 and RS600.
2021 is a street compound with excellent pedal feel low noise and is kind to discs. They are ok for short duration club events such as hill climb's, etc. As used by Meek supported early EVO's at the EVO 2006 Nationals including the Ralliart Driving Medal winner Kris M. (evotool).


RS600 is a ceramic fibre high performance street and track day compound. This is not too cold for street and works well on the track.
We recommend RS600 for all general club track work (however not for all out with slicks).

ELIG brake make a lot of OEM brake pads for various high peformance companies in the USA and Japan. They have ISO/QS9000 which means they are OEM quality certified.
We are the Australian distributor for ELIG brake and will be working with them to bring further products to market.

Any idea on how the RS600s compare to the Ferodo DS2500s? Has any of the guys running these pads used both?

Ferodo Comparison (***** stars is best)
High temp track performance
DS2500 ***
RS600 *****
DS3000 *****
2021 **

Pedal feel cold
DS2500 ****
RS600 ***
DS3000 *
2021 *****

Pedal feel hot
DS2500 ****
RS600 ***
DS3000 **
2021 ***** (feel great right up until max temp reached)
NOTE: RS600 not as bitey as the 2500's but very consistent when you're pushing them.

Track Pad wear rate (note: not street wear rate)
DS2500 ****
RS600 ***
DS3000 **
2021 * (wear is high on track, pretty much like with any street pad)

Noise
RS600 the occasional squeak when you're being soft on them but nothing to worry about on the street. 2021 ok.

Disc wear rate
RS600 similar to DS2500. 2021 little disc wear.

I just want to make it clear the RS600's are absolutley streetable no problem, and the 2021 are a great high performance street pad with excellent pedal feel.

Awesome,

Does Meek have any of the RS600s in stock at the EvoOZ special price, or do I need to order online, or?

For those interested, I decided to try out a set of the street pads (2021s) as a replacement for the stock brembo pads. After ~200km so far, they feel great, very grippy and much more feeling than the dull stock pads (mine were very dull unless i'd done a couple of HARD stops, and didn't give me confidence at all). These pads are much better, stop better, and are nice and progressive. I'll give another update later on.

I'm actually thinking about whether to take these pads to Wakefield or not. I could put some of the RS600s in the front, will see what happens.

Hope this helps anyway

Hi,
thanks for your comments yes the 2021 compound has excellent pedal feel. You could try them however at track temperatures the wear rate increases a lot.
Maybe you could take a set of RS600's and change them at the track?

cheers,
Mark.

how do these compare to endless VN9600's ?
my rears are due for a change soon so i jus wanna know for future ref. most likely will get the rs600's off of u in the near future mark...

Look I am not sure they compare to the Endless pads. We concentrated on a Ferodo comparion because they seemed one of the most common pads people use.
Maybe ask around how the Endless pads compare to the Ferodo's and work back from there

PM sent...

dw, i'm goin to go on a judgement call and will go the rs600's when its time... which is very very soon
=)

Sounds good to me.

Hey mark have you put these up on rexnet?my friend jason (GUN571) who just bought a turbo off you is in need of some pads too..so yeah maybe ask him too...

I haven't put them on Rexnet yet, tell him to contact me for sure.

i'm keen for a set what do i need to do?

PM sent.

Hey guys, just wanted to say these pads did a great job on the weekend! I purchased the RS600's for front and back recently for a track day and they did a great job! They helped bring down my previous time by almost 3 seconds (along with semi's)! No fade at all, and they are staying on to do street duties also...

For the price these are awesome! considering i got front and back pads delivered to my door cheaper than two front ferodo pads alone!

I had the 2021 pads put on yesterday at service and they are a great pad for the street, ca'nt comment on track performance as i hav'nt been on the track yet.
Thanx again Mark for a great price and fast delivery. :D

after using these for a few weeks i would suggest these only be used for track- they seem to have glazed over after the track day and just dont pull me up at all on the street

RS600= track only

Take them out and give them a rub on the concrete to remove the surface build up, that should help a lot. Even Pagid pads need this sometimes.
Also at track days it's important to do a full cool down lap.

pm sent payment made awaiting package =)

Package ready to go!

Sweet
thanks mark..

Are you running stock rotors? Perhaps slotted would help?

slotted rotors shouldnt be required for street duties....

there is a good chance they are just glazed- should be an easy fix

but aren't those pads low end 'racing' pads?. I'd have thought better rotors should go with those pads.. (or lesser pads with your rotors)

Received goods thanks for the quick service..

I used the Elig 'race' pads (RS600) at a track day (Wakefield) last week on the front of my GSR .. I can't say I was impressed with them.

The car is a GSR lancer with Evo 3 twin-pot calipers, so it's reasonably light. Because it was my first time at the track, I wasn't going all out, running 1:16s throughout the day (yeah, I suck ) .. all up, I'd have spent under an hour on the track (4 sessions), with between 6-8 laps of Wakefield each session.

The pads felt alright for the first two sessions (though the brakes did begin to fade a little towards the end of each) but after that they went right off. It appears that they were 'melting,' filling all the slots on my front rotors with pad material, and by the fourth session, I had no brakes left at all. I had the pads changed this morning, and when the Elig pads were removed, there was next to no material left on them at all.

Aside from the track day, they probably had about 300kms of use in the car the week before I went down to Wakefield.

I don't know if my expectations are too high, as this is the first time I've been to the track, but I thought that was pretty poor, especially when I see things like this:

http://www.evolutionoz.net/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5866

Okay, the Eligs weren't quite that bad when I pulled them out this morning, but they'd be close (maybe 1-2mm left on them). Sure, the DS2500s are almost twice the cost, but you'd only have to get two track days out of them and some street driving in between to justify the cost. Considering the life Turbo4 got from his (and he and his car is probably harder on brakes than mine) from the above thread, I should easily expect that kind of life.

I'll be using different pads for the next track day, no doubt.

Steve hey any feed back is welcome. Whippet ran the 2021's (because the RS600's were not available at that time) at the EVO nationals in his EVO3 and was doing 11's.
We experience high wear on the track with the 2021 (that is expected) but the RS600's should be ok.

Track work is VERY hard on the brakes, a lot of people who have never been to the track before don't fully realise this.
What type of fluid were you using? Generally it's worth bleeding the brakes half way through the day to keep the fluid fresh.

hey mark
i have the 2021s on front and rear with stock rotors and noticed that i wasnt gettin the same bite when on the cruise on saturday. car wasnt pulling up at all well, and now it seems to have a bit more squeal when braking at low speed. looks like the front rotors are getting gouged a little as well. is it just a case of giving the pads a rub to remove build up?

A surface build up of "cooked" material is really only caused by extreme temperature such as found on a track day.
I have seen Pagid pads like this, after the surface build up was rubbed off they were ok again.
How hard were you guy's driving on the "cruise" :D

I have received further advice from the factory they say the RS600 pads should not be used on the track below 2mm material thickness.
Actually this is the same for DS2500.

We will include info regarding this with all RS600 pads in future.

we werent driving THAT hard :D in fact it happened just as we started doing the hard driving
fair enuf, i'll sort that out
but does it mean its going to keep happening everytime i do solid braking?

The surface layer issue I talked about only happens sometimes in extreme track conditions.
Hard driving will wear the brakes which in itself means they won't quite feel as nice as when everything is fresh.
Your ultimate braking power is probably the same however you may need some extra pedal effort to achieve the same amount of braking as before.

I pm`d Mark this week and got a reply the same day, and arranged pickup of the 2021`s the following night outside work hours, installed them today and these pads are awesome! thanks for the great service mate

Hey, been runni'n the 2021 series on the street for the last 15,000km's or so and no prob's here. No squeal low dust and still heaps of meat! Way Better than stock Brembo pads by a great mile, and a great price as well. GT Pumps has come up trumps again!!!! :D

I got the rear pads a while ago and they were fine no squeal wat so ever, I got the front pads changed two weeks ago and they squeal like a bitch all the times when breaking at low speed, I gave it some hard breaking but they same thing is still happening. Any thing that could be done about the squeal?

thanx alot

Did they throw away the anti-squeal plates when they fitted the pads? If so this will cause it for sure.

I fitted them my self but I think I didnt put back the plates I will try to put them on thanx alot for that.

will let you know what happens

I put the anti-squeal plates back on and every thing is fine now
Thanx alot for your help mark

Ok no problem.
