Best brakes for track use? BREMBO??

[Crumbie]

Hi guys, what's the recommendations on brakes/pads for track days? I'm looking at BREMBO discs & pads on eBay £70. The discs are non drilled or grooved... Is it worth spending a little more for a grooved/drilled set up?

Brembo HC discs £40 is what you need, I wouldn't bother with drilled/grooved, will just eat away at the pads quicker. The BHC discs are vented anyway.

@g172 will sort you out on here

Cheers mate !
What's the verdict then? Prices etc?

yea there vented (vents in the middle that draw hot air from the centre and out). iv had same front HC discs now for 2 seasons of racing and are only just starting to show signs of wear.

Ahh tidy! I suppose BREMBO is s trusted brand to. Can you get this set up complete with pads for cheaper than £70??
What sort of racing you do mate? You compete?

George will sort you out and knows the brakes for these cars better than anyone else. Have a search on here and you will find everyone recommends him as he's the bomb diggy!

You'll also find that a very very high percentage of people on here use brembo HC's for road and track use.

Circuit racing in 15 min sprint format.
What you looking at doing? fast road,track,race?

DS2500 pads are a good all round pad (not competition) so would recommend those, But are twice as much as the discs.

I run the Brembo HC disc's and never had any problems and rate them especially for the price lol I could buy 4 sets of disc's for the price of my pads, I was running Carbon Lorraine RC6 but have just swapped (as I just wanted to try something else) to Ferrodo DS1.11 thanks to @George@RTR_Parts

How do the pads compare and what is the dust like for both?

Not been on track yet since swapping between them. Maybe @Josh can comment.
