stock cup pads imo, they work out as about 98 quid for front and rear set

I went for Brembo max on the front when i did mine, rears left standard, but its all about personal choice.

ifs it not a track car stock are fine!

Stocks on a cup arn't that good imo, so I went out and paid the extra for Brembo max discs with Mintex 1144 fats road/race pads....never looked back and well worth paying the extra!

i got a set of brembo max off ebay 90 pounds to my door very happy with that

brembo max discs either plain or grooved

gsfcarparts.com are hard to beat on price as they'll have a local branch to save on postage

jesus I dont know how you lot cook your brakes so easily on the road! Crazy Fools!!

brembo max disks will be fine but it depends on what pads you are going to use as some of the aggressive track pads will destroy them in 2 seconds flat i have tyred them and brembo high carbon disks tbh there is hardly any difference in them just the price and some groves

i got standard they are fine! can get cooked on a tsisty lane if youre really hiking on though! just dont want real bite as it proved killer in my old saxo in the wet

 

[fil_b]

standard disk are good from what people say

get some uprated pads n you inprove

ive got brembo max front disks and they are impressive, Using green stuff pads (a lot here dont like them) but i dont do that many track days, 1 or 2 a year so they are fine, a bit better than standard but dont give out half as much dust as standard (which is the main reason i went for them, how gay! lol)

dont bother with drilled disks they just crack.

Fair enough you have max discs, but if your doing track days then why are you using greenstuff pads for track days, their not a track day pad iirc?

I had drilled discs on the front from K tec racing for around 18 months and not one bit of crackage! I have also still got drilled on the back and had them on at the same time as the front ones went on and still they are not cracked.

Using Brembo Max items currently. Again from e-bay at £90 delivered.

Not too sure if DS 2500's should be used with them though.

Don't mean to rub it in mate, but I think I did mention to goe for the Brembo max/Mintex 1144 set up..

Like i say i only do one or 2 track days a year if that, and ive found greenstuff to be fine on track as long as its not long sessions, and fine for hard fast road use.

if im doing a long track day i usually just stick a different set of pads on it.

greenstuff were fine on track on my 1.2 16v but that wasnt as heavy or going as fast

I had drilled discs on the front from K tec racing for around 18 months and not one bit of crackage! I have also still got drilled on the back and had them on at the same time as the front ones went on and still they are not cracked.
Possibly just my experiance though although ive heard of plenty of sports/super car owners changing drilled disks for non drilled disks because of cracking, usually with factory brembos.
