New brake discs on the way.....

[Millen]

Got some Brembo max grooved discs arrived yesterday for the 172. Planning on some track action next year so i'm prepping it up a little.

Paid just £80 delivered for the pair. But now i need some brake pads, anyone have any recommendations for some good fast road pads?

Carbone Lorraine (RC5+ compound).

Around £80-100 I think, and better than the £120+ Pagid Blue IMO.

I bet you can't get them to fade!

also the Ferodo DS 2500 pads are pretty good, I'll be getting some soon. They're about £100ish for the set.

Awesome pads, and the fronts lasted AGES... don't bother with the rears (as I did) because they don't last long at all.

Ask edde (on here) - we were going round the 'ring, and the seatbelt was hurting his abdomen!

DS2500s or Mintex 1144s

I've got DS2500 and they work well with my Tarox grooved discs. Heard good things about PF97s as well.

Carbone Lorraine Pads are mint, I run them and i have never had fade on any of my trackdays.
As said above they are cheaper than Pagid and they will last for EVER

Oh one more thing the CL's will munch through discs quicker than normal pads you will need about 3 sets of discs to 1 set of pads (thats what i hear i am yet to replace my Brembo Max discs)

too aggressive for road use and very harsh on pads, but amazing stopping power from what i've read. DS2500's are a good all rounder imo. Pagids are supposed to be awersome, but expensive.
