I've heard good things about the the TSL uprated disk and pad setup. Take a look at www.tsl-motorsport.co.uk

This is meant to be a good fast road setup, for track days etc you may want to look at the GodSpeed two part discs. (These still fit under the original caliper.)

cheers,
Dave

I am certainly very happy with the TSL Discs and Uprated Ferrodo pads, No probs warming up, way better than std and Mintex I had!
Done a couple of track days no warping, no fade (I do several small sessions I know they have limits of heat dissipation way below big brake setups) and was able to outbrake others without much trouble.

Worth the money..... I would say yes,
Andy

Uprated brake fluid would be a very good idea since you are going to be draining the system any way, I use the racing fluid from Scoobysport, expensive but it has served me well.

Thumbs up

I would go no other way but Padgid blue pads (around £140) and discs (around £220)

Thats my personal preference
