Oh, thanks mate for the quick reply
Next question is best place for some track focused pads to fit a 275 trophy?

Cheers…those pagids are bloody pricey!

Check out EBC RPX pads Pep, they get good reviews and when I bought they were quite a bit cheaper than ds1.11's. I'm on RP1's with the VX and a mate has RPX's on a track skyline.

I’ve just fitted the calipers to my E90 M3, just got the stock brembo pads in for road use which will be fine as I don’t drive fast on the road. But want a good upgrade as I’m at the Ring end of the month so standards won’t cut it.
It’s a heavy thing but I think I’m reasonably light on brakes and don’t get too carried away. Plus in fairness a BTG lap isn’t the same as typical track session at Donington.

Seem ok price wise.

Just my experience, but I’ve run Pagids forever, usually 29s and every time I try something else, it an instant regret and I end up buying twice.

Hero!
Im going to sound a mong here but qty1 for £159, is that going to be 2 pad sets for the front axle, or do I need qty2 for £318?!

Wouldnt touch pbs or ebc personally, cheap for a reason.
If you want unreal power stick to the ferodo or pagid. The ds1.11 bite from cold is awesome but wear the discs fast. The pagids have less bite from cold but mega when on it. Ive just fitted a set of brembo 250 calipers to an astra vxr with the pagids, pedal feel felt awesome.

If it's for road and occasional track, try Performance Friction Z Rated pads.
They last ages, no noise, low dust and ideal for the ring.

I had them on my last M3 on standard calipers and they didn’t seem any better than OEM to me…dont think they can handle the weight

The RP range is decent mate as are the range above that (SS I think). The green/blue/orange whatever colours yes I agree ... although the blues I ran were ok on track but nothing special and poor compared to the RP1's I had in for Anglesey.
I bought direct from them and the price was for an axle set.
Loads of good reviews:

EBC RPX – Honda S2000We have run our Honda S2000 trackday hire car since 2014. I remember it well when I purchased the car – I was in a Hospital waiting room doing an online bank transfer for the car as my first daughter was being delivered – but that really is another story. Since then however...

They bedded in dead easy, while yellows/blues have some weird bedding in procedure. Good bite from cold too, I'll be buying them again. But like you say everything is very subjective, some people swear by DS2500's but others say they are awful. I personally didn't get on with M1155 which I had on the Clio after fading them a few times I also found they went very non linear so I was never 100% sure it was going to stop.
What did you run on your last track day?
