Recommended Front Pads and new Fluid for Road and Track?

[Skeeter]

Hi all

My car is soon to be retired from 75 miles a day commuting and become my toy, so I will be able to track it. I'm getting it serviced soon and thought I may as well change the brakes for some more suited to track use.

Just putting stock pads on the back, but need recommendations for front pads and new fluid? Mate of my dads races Clios and he asked him about pads but all my dad could remember was "something beginning with M with lots of numbers...", lol.

Recommendations welcome! The car will still be mainly road use, but with a few track days a year hopefully.

Cheers

Ferodo pads and brembo HC discs is rated very highly on here.

along with braided lines and racing fluid.

Just done a track day at Oulton and used ds2500 pads and they held up well

The other pads your thinking of are Mintex, also pouplar for the track, the choice is yours.

Really? I was going to keep the stock discs as they are in fairly good nick as I though changing them would be £££'s, but maybe not!

Yeh really good price, Ktec sell for around £70 + postage iirc

Just use the standard discs until they are dead. Absolutely no point changing to HC's unless your current set are knackered.

Brembo HC disks, very cheap but as Dave says, not a whole lot of point.
Ferrodo ds2500
ATE super blue fluid

personally I'd not bother with ATE super blue anymore... yes its great but the blue stains the crap out of your lines so if you bleed again with the Amber ATE you cant actually tell when its gone though properly lol.

I'm now a big fan of pikey mintex 5.1 fluid at £3/litre lol. Its NEVER let me down under abuse.

My brakes were on their way out when I buoght the car, So I changed to the standard CS setup, and on road and track they are fantastic.

Brembo HC discs, DS2500's, Motul race fluid, braided lines.
