Hi Guys,

I fitted a set of prodrive brakes last week and got DS2000 pads with them.
They are amazing and even better then my previous Brembo
setup.............or so I thought.

I did my first trackday since having them fitted yesterday and I was braking
50feet later than everyone else. many comments were passed on how late i was
braking. On the back straight I was hitting 120 mph on a downhill into a
hairpin and was able to brake well after the braking cone.

All was well until the last session when my pads went!!!! I mean
WENT.....metal to metal........I can't believe it........only a week
old........ It was session number four and just over a tank of fuel so you
know roughly how long I was out.

Anyway I now need new pads after limping home using engine braking and
handbrake ;-) I know that the DS2000 are probably great pads but I'm just
too hard on brakes (obviously) for them. What should I go for? Are pagids
available for these calipers?

Many thanks guys,

Paul.

Hi Paul

Even better than my Brembos ?? You should have known better

Seriously, I assume you mean the Alcon 330mm kit (Prodrive written on the caliper). I think Pagid do make a pad, but try speaking direct to Alcon for a part number.

I was reading this morning in the current EVO that at Palmer Sport at the Bedford Autodrome, they have to replace the disks *and* pads twice per day on their track cars....

Paul,

Oh well, at least you didn't crack your discs then get asked for another £500 for the "floating" version !!

Seriously, my DS2000's have been fine. I also know people that have recently done a track day with their kit with no problems. I would suggest you talk to your dealer first.

Steve.

DS2000 experience high wear at constant high temperatures. DS3000 are better for track use and will last.

Alternatives are available, try calling Roger Clark Motorsport and speak to :-
