Dazza, I haven't tried any of these, but, judging from feedback on this BBS, it's a choice between Pagid discs/pads (from ScoobySport) or Prodrive discs/pads (from your local Scooby dealer).

If that's not enough - and track days will push them to the limit - you'll need the full monty APR/Brembo/Prodrive conversion kit.

I have fitted the pagid group N disk and blue pads from scoobysport after trashing my standard disks and mintex pads at Knockhill in March.

Tried them for the first on track at croft yesterday and they worked great. I was pushing hard in the afternoon and was doing about 12 lap sessions and they never went off once, they just seemed to get better as the day went on.

Checked them this morning and the discs are fine, no cracks or damage, although i have used up about 2/3rds the pad material.

If you dont want to go to the expense of a full brake kit i would recomended them.

We have quite a few customers running round on pearlitic grey iron discs and Ferodo DS 4003 pads on the front. This set up seems to work pretty well, sensible dust, plenty of bite and track day friendly.

Maybe "Blue" can give us his response after his friday track day?... how did u get on Racing Jason?
