Ds2500 vs pagid blue!

[kevin_172]

i can say rc6 pads are AMAZING for trackday use saying that though i was using them on the road also and managed to get through a set of discs and pads in 15k

Ran a new set of ds2500s with HC disks, braided lines and ATE superblue and they didn't fade all day at Cadwell. Was given plenty of hammer as 2 of us share the car and there's some real hard braking points round that track.

Same set up i had when i did Cadwell,had good strong predictable brakes all day. Great track aswel.

Nick hit nail on head, people are always going to suggest the products they sell.

Brakes are subjective like tyres, some people love a certain tyre and another person thinks they're average.

You pay your money you make your choice.

Stick to the bigger well known brands and you won't go far wrong.

Also i have never had any feedback of Brembo Max discs cracking, and i have sold a few sets to various cars that get used properly on track. Some of the cheaper drilled discs that are floating about can crack though

Any of the suppliers doing good deals on the pagids at the minute? Blues, blacks or greys?

Dont use 5.1 fluid unless you are changing regularly. Use a good dot4 if your doing trackdays like motul RBF600 or similar.

Never managed to boil the stuff yet.

Why is 5.1 not recommended?

Why is 5.1 not recommended?

It has to be changed more regular. So is seen as an inconvenience for a road going car. Dot 4 is good enough

the pagid's off dan will be more than enough.. i have a set on my saxo VTS which are known for piss poor brakes and im sure you know what the roads are like surrounding his work shop and i go down at 90+ and still had no fade and when i parked up the brakes were blue off getting that much abuse and heat but no fade .. Il be putting pagid's on my cup when its back on the road

 

[jamie172cup]

neither. Both overpriced. Pagids are good but not worth anything like the pricetag, and i hate ds2500s

Brembo max disks aare the single biggest waste of time ever created, all they do is wear out the pads faster, cost more and crack, all for twice the price of something that will last

what do you recommend then ? looking a good cheap track setup. thanks

Don't listen to him he will knick your car.
