Question

I'm guessing DS3000's were are fitted as standard by Prodrive to the P1.

What are they like for normal road driving considering they were designed as a track pad. Any problems with stopping??

Apologies for what may seem like strange questions, I do have my reasons!!

Cheers

S

Stuart - I think I know why you are asking

As a normal road pad, they were OK. Took a little bit of warming up, but basically if you needed to stop quicker than a damn good stamp on the brake pedal would delivery, then you are not paying attention / driving too close.

I remember only once when I found mine needed warming up, but all it took to stop was a little more pedal effort than normal.

The squealing of the brakes of low speed was the biggest pain in the ***.

Regards
Kurt

PS. Live in Milton Keynes, so brakes get used more than most.
