Track Disks & Pads
What Disks and pads are everyone using when taking their car on track, or for their dedicated track cars?
Need some new pads, and the one's on the car are aweful so time for new set (pads)
Something not expensive!

Im using ebay special grooved only disks with ds2500's on 4 pots with braided lines and RBF600.
Does the job, massive improvement over standard. but really need AP's.
...Oh and the disks suck cos they crack...last set lasted 5 track days.

PF 2 piece discs up front and standard rear discs. PF 01 pads up front and Z pads for the rear and Motul RBF600 fluid. 01 pads are better on track than the Z although the Z's are better for road use. In the past year my current set up has done a few UK trackdays, a couple of Spa trackdays, 300+ laps of the Nurburgring (both GP and Nordschleife) and I've yet to fade them.
There's no such thing as cheap good brakes.

For your budget of £150 for front and rear track pads I think you will struggle.
Pay a bit more and PF will give you very good use on track.
We can supply Ferodo, Mintex, EBC, Pagid and Performance Friction for your model.
If I was in your position I would fit PF 2 piece discs and 01 pads without hesitation.
I have forgotten how many cheap discs I went through before I took the plunge for a decent setup. Wished I done it in the first place which would have saved a fair few £££s.

A great set up for track. Even my mate running the same Brembo's, PF 2 piece discs as me but with Z pads instead of my 01's noticed the improved braking in my car. They're not cheap but you get what you pay for. Brakes and tyres are two areas I would never scrimp on.
