Im still searching for brakes pads for the QRS brakes. They are reluctant to tell me any part numbers, manufacturer's or different options in brake pads.ABY Coupe

I had something similar on a customer's car that had a Mov'it upgrade, their agent quoted them over £170 for a pair of pads, which I was able to supply for £70 for exactly the same pad.Originally posted by Ski
You will probably find that it is a pagid pad, do you have any number's on the back of the pads?Corey

I do believe that QRSport were using hawk pads from the States, although I cannot remember which compound.

another wote for the ds2500 but i doubt they are made for a UR S6 pad shape on a standard caliper.....
Pagid would get my vote for OEM replacement...their fast road pad is a good (if dusty) upgrade over stock on the girling G60 stock s2 caliper...sigpic

Whenever I have the stock HP2's on my urS6 I like to use the stock pad and disc but find that they can be improved by braided lines and good brake fluid but the key is in bedding them in properly.Originally posted by 220bhpCorey

I will try to remove a pad and see if there are any numbers.
But then again, Im not happy with the pads and want to change compound to something else. How would I go about that? or because they are custom brakes im stuck with only 1 option?ABY Coupe

You might like to take the pads out, measure them and then compare the dimensions and shape to something in the EBC brakes international catalogue - www.ebcrakes.com (Catalogues)
Not saying you need to use EBC brake pads, but once you find out which (if any) pad is identical you can probably see what car they were fitted to, which is then a good cross reference for finding compatible pads from other manufacturers.Comment

Hawk QRS Pads
I Have QRS Brakes and the pads are as follows:
Hawk HB101F.800 HPS Compound (Fast Road) or HP (Race Compound)
I've just fitted the HPS ones as they are so much better for every day use.
I Hope this helps
