Hello,

I use Volvo 4 pots Girling CALIPER with Alfa 164 V6 front vented disk.

Actually I use MINTEX 1144 pad wich are pretty good but "not disponible"

I find PRB Ulitmate Ceramic Pad (wich are very cheap).

What is for you the best pad for Girling 4 pots caliper ?

thanks for your reply.

Eric.

Wow someone has the same set-up as me.

As for the pads I’m running the Ferodo Zero (very dusty pads), I however don’t race the car so it works fine for me.

One question, what master cylinder are you running?

I have just installed a 164 - 24mm MC but I still think the pedal is to soft and travel is also a bit to long.
It is however much better then the original MC.

How does this system perform on the track?

Thanks for you reply.

I have just an OEM (BENDITALIA) MC and it's OK for the moment... but I'm seriously looking for an BMW E32 MC.

On track the system is very good (especially for my light car (compare to heavy GTV6). The to most quality of it are :
- no fading after some lap...
- very big pedal attack ...

I practice on Magny-Cours F1 track where you have a 170km/h to 30km/h braking at Adélaïde curve and my car was very good after a complete day on the track....

Hope hear you again.

Alfistic regards,

Eric.

I'm thinking about upgrading to girling calipers.

I just wondering How did you line up Girling caliper with 164 Disk.
I think that size of 164 Front disk is D284xH44xT22 I think and GTV6 disk size is D268xH51xT22.

Did you use spacer between spindle and calipers?

Thanks.
