Not yet, but I was on the phone to Graham from TSL and Ferrodo in Italy are currently making a batch of 2500s that will fit the 7 and TSL should be the first in the UK to get them in a couple of weeks

My thoughts exactly. I can't find anything wrong with mine.

I have tried various from standard to Project Miu to 1144 and 1155 and now on pagid 402 or something like that.

Biggest improvement was from 1144 to the miu's on standard discs.

My current setup is KAD G caliper with 330mm discs on the Pagids.
This setup makes the standard stuff feel like two pots.

Prodrive probably have on their demonstrator

Having used them for just over a couple of months, I would say a pad change would be beneficial, but the biggest benefit would come from fitting AP grooved discs and ally bells with the standard calipers.

Joseph, having just re-read my post, I didn't mean that as a criticism of the KAD setup - having driven yours it is bloody good. I just meant on a cost basis, it would be pads, then pads and discs, and only finally a caliper change too. I'm not convinced the Brembo calipers are bad enough to have to change if the discs /pads are done first.

Not arguing about the weight saving of KAD or AP calipers, but going on a diet would result in the same LOL (and I know that's not unsprung weight )
