General recommendations are Ferodo DS2500 for pads.

I run standard discs and they work very well with Ferodo pads, but Black Diamond (drilled / grooved or combi's) are also well tried & tested.

If you are planning on running more than you have now, I'd probably go for some AP 4 pots or some Brembos.

Having said that, I never had any problem wit DS2500s, Group N+ Disks from SEJOC and some decent fluid. Never warped or faded them and yes, they did have a relatively hard life.

They will always develop a lip as they wear. The important thing is the minimum permissible thickness of the disc in the contact area. Expensive discs will wear just as fast as, or faster than the OEM ones.

Looking for some new ones myself - must get my @*** in gear there.

Tim,

If you want to see how the DS2500's and BlackDiamonds feel, just give me a shout, were not far apart and if you can slum it in mine you can have a dabble.

Thanks for the replies guys,

Any one any idea of costs for the said items??

Cheers

Tim.

PS if it is silly money for new pads and disks can i get away with replacing the pads, bearing in mind my disks have approx 1mm lip around the edge ???

Tim, I got a set of DS2500's from Merseyspeed (I have Octy Brakes ) for

According to http://www.speedways.co.uk/shop/index.html your discs have a thickness as new of 25.0 mm and a minimum thickness of 23.0 mm so if the lip really is 1 mm your discs are worn out. Best to measure the actual thickness with a vernier or micrometer, though, as 1 mm is a difficult amount to gauge subjectively. Does sound like you're close, though.

Don't bother Sejocs don't do Group N's any more or any other discs for that matter. :(

i've had them on the last 3 cars i've had and they rae pretty darn good on the road and survived a few trackdays too.

awesome gti did me them for 50 quid posted.not gonna say they are in the same league as the ferrodo's,but for the money they suit my budget/driving style

S it seems that Sejocs have finished there range of pads and discs so what they up to now or just closed down!!!

Anyway i found these and they give 10% discount to all on EBC Pads and Discs......and free delivery so might have to start using these
