Brake pads for trackday car

[The Sherrif70]

Hi,
Want a set of pads for my trackday car. Going to be running Brembo HC discs up front, and std gen Renault set up on rear. I am not a heavy braker, even at the track, so what would you recommend for pads, and who do I get them off?
DS2500's??

cheapest out there.

 

[JohnnyE]

£84 from Demon Tweeks is the cheapest ive found for my 172

 

[Italian_Job]

£84 for DS2500 FCP565H?
I really doubt it. link?

 

[JohnnyE]

I will check tomorrow it's just that I rang them today for a price as I use the car for sprinting and decent pads and they tried to sell me ds2500 for £84

 

[JamieG]

That'll be plus the vat.

 

[Chris_786]

Just seen them on the bay for £80 ish from tweeks. Unless they are rears at that price?

Edit they are rears...

Balance do them for £106

don't forget there are 2 different versions of the DS2500's also!

One version that fits straight in and the other you have to hack at with a file to fit.

Pagid rs4's but you'll need brembo max discs.

Best place for the Pagids bud

We are cheapest for Ferodo and Mintex everytime. We can't put every price on the site, but if you contact me last, you'll get the best deal. End of!
Hope that helps.
Thanks,

Not sure as I bought them off someone on here but they are a lot better than the ds2500's and I've tried both back to back.

 

[clio_luke]

cant fault my ferodo ds2500's, brembo hc discs, with 5.1 fluid and braided lines.

+1 Never had a problem even after pounding round a track all day.

PF97s.

Amazing stopping power, and I've never had fading issues.

Ive bought the DS2500 for a good price from Demon Tweeks I will see how they go.

I've had these in my 172, ek9 and still there now and are ace and never made them fade on track. I've got 225 bhp in the ek9 now and looking forward to seeing how they perform.

Yes Dan,but they are £200.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

But they'll last you a long time!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Tis true.

 

[sideways danny]

disks wont though

 

[Tony Hunter]

Disks are cheaper than pads though Dan.

 

[sideways danny]

obvioulsy. Swings and roundabouts on the pad life vs cost if you're using 3 sets of disks to one set of pads, rather than 1 set of each with the pads costing half. Works out about the same

 

[Sam@NP]

PF97s if its a dedicated track car.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Saying that we expected to get through at least 2 sets of discs last year,one set lasted all year,result.

Don't get me wrong, they are good and you would be as well trying them before the pagid's but if you can get some RS4's you'll notice the difference. You need to use them with max brembos so they don't glaze over.

I had them on my 182 and done a couple of sprints with them and they lasted well, Pagid's are twice as much of DS2500's but are they twice as good??

 

[Meek_racing]

I'm trying out some DS300's on Tuesday, initial impression is that they don't half fooking stop! Let's see what they are like on a few long stints.

Performance Friction at a guess

 

[Sam@NP]

Got it in one ^

 

[Tony Hunter]

Based in Banbury and a little bit under £200.

 

[Keith185]

Pagid RS4-2's

 

[p@blo]

I ran pagid blacks at Donington on Monday, fierce stopping power with smooth initial bite. Think Tony's run these before too?
