8 pot D2 pad advice please :)
Just bought the car (p reg classic import) and find the brakes to be a bit ish (wooden). So I'm led to believe the d2 kit comes with their own pads and discs(330mm)? The discs are good so just after pads, it's got braided lines on. Previous cars I've tried all sorts, ebc yellowstuff, ds2500, rc5+ etc but these have all been on clios which is obviously a lighter car. Car is a daily but looking at doing track days in it, the next at oulton on the 16th of November. Been recommended to try the ds2500 or the pf ones but just wondered what anyone else thought too . Cheers guys
Dan.

Thanks for the reply . Will they be ok to go the current discs? I know in an ideal world you should change the set but the discs are fine. Do you guys stock them and if so how much? Thank you

Yes they are , the K sport and D2 calipers are made by the same people in the same factory.
Just check the PF pads as someone else had an issue with these being too thick to fit this setup , they use the same pads as the AP 6 pot calipers , but the AP pads are 18mm thick where as the pads for the D2 need to be 17mm I believe
We can also supply various pads for these calipers , EBC , Ferodo , Mintex , PF , Pagid ect ect

As above Z-Rated pads are very nice pad for day to day driving and will cope with occasional track days
K-Sport/D2 using same shape pads like AP 6pots(CP5070D54,CP5070D51) just must be 17mm thick,yes you can use too 18mm but yours discs must be worn
Pads which will fit above mentioned AP will fit K-Sport/D2 8pots callipers
