Choosing a clutch kit for a car: Luk, Kraft or Valeo


Hi all! This time I want to share my feelings from replacing the pads on a Lada Sport.

The old pads, green Ferodo, began to slow down worse every day. Not only do they not brake when hot when new, but they also stopped braking when cold. If you warmed them up a little, they at least somehow began to slow down, but at the same time they began to buzz like hell. The wear of the pads was no more than 50 percent.

In search of a replacement, I looked at more expensive options, such as the Hankook Frixa S1, TRW GDB458 (from fiata, with a larger area) and EBC. But we didn’t have such pads in stock anywhere, and the price tag, along with the dollar exchange rate, skyrocketed.

In search of an affordable alternative, I came across laudatory reviews about the Lada Sport pads, also known as TIIR 295, these pads are installed on new Kalinas and Grants on the assembly line.

What’s remarkable is that I didn’t come across any negative reviews. Naturally, after reading positive reviews about these pads, I decided to try my luck and find them here. I searched slowly, but persistently; the search took three weeks. I visited several dozen stores. The main hope was in the Lada Detail stores, we have three of them in our city, these stores operate under the Lada Image franchise and they should have parts that are put on the assembly line, but, alas. In two of these stores they said that the pads are not in demand and that’s why they don’t carry them, while they persistently pushed the fucking Ferodos. The third store was interested and even promised to bring it in a week, but I didn’t wait.

As a result, the desired box was found in the Avtoross store. The price tag is pleasing, only 350 rubles. Last year I bought the same Ferodo for 370.

The working area of ​​the friction lining of TIIR is slightly larger than that of Ferodo.

JSC TIIR regularly informs its consumers about new products in the field of development, introduction into production and launch of its products on the market. Interested consumers, having read the information posted, conduct independent tests of our products.

Feedback from Mospanyuk I.S.:

"Good afternoon. I leave a comment about the use of disc brake brake pads part. 2192-3501090-11 made of TIIR-299 composite. When installing the pads, I had regular standard brake discs without serrations, and with such brake discs, the pads served very well. Afterwards Alnas Euro Sport 14 brake discs were installed, and after that the pads began to wear out very quickly. After installation on such discs, the pads began to wear out very quickly, and the dark coating on the wheel rims from the pads also increased. In terms of braking quality, I really liked these pads, they are much better than the 260 model. No extraneous sounds or creaks were detected over 8 months. I will definitely install the same pads for the next ones. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in pad testing. "
