chewing discs

[hefer81]

gday
i have some cl pads and brembo discs but seem to barely get 2 track days out of them i was thinking of going to willwoods to run a less agressive pad to save disc wear any thoughts on the issue or willwoods

Discs are cheap if you are using brembo HC discs. My advice would be get some better brake cooling and clean out the grooves I the pads at the end of each day.

I take it you're on about the willwood midlite 4 pot kit?

Get the brakes hotter, sintered pads chew thru discs when there too cold. I have the rc6 pads disc wear is not an issue. That's with el cheapo discs aswell. Do the pads look at all overheated?

yea its the willwood kit, brakes do get pretty hot, its a trackday and they get stood on im talking about wiping slots of the hc discs in roughly one track day so its pretty hard to clean them once there gone got some brake cooling on there i dont live in england either where its colder temps im in australia

If say you run a DS2500 pads with the willwoods your discs will last longer. But £700 ( the price of the willwood 4 pots) buys a lot of Brembo HC discs.

Ds3000 leave a lot of build up on the discs mate. Do a search on here it's been covered a few times.

Pagid blues are worth a shot as well mate. The downside is they're near as damn it £200 a set!!

Pagid blues are the ones to get really but yellow stuff a worth a try, not too bad on discs and work well with heat in them.
