If they are supplied with the standard galfer pads
07.5146.30 Galfer 3318 FF , than change them for some decent ones.
Pagid, Mintex, Ferodo. etc.

Well had my galfer's removed today- and both pads were heavily cracked!

whoops.

going to try out the red Dot XF carbon compound- http://www.reddotracing.co.uk/eng/Pads/pads.html
XF Compound - Competition Pads
Designed primarily for very high powered road going cars and for light competition use.
This Kevlar based pad is stable over a wide range of temperatures working well from cold up to 950C.
apparently they wear faster than the DS2500 but the XF's are VERY cheap when you mention you were part of the scoobynet Brembo GB
I bought two sets, and delivered next day all for £110 !!
I will be 'testing' them thoroughly once they have bedded in

Augusto @ RD assured me that the XF pads wipe the floor with the 'standard' pads that came with the GB Brembo kit..

Will report back soon.
