Trackday pads with standard discs

[Matt@Stealthsport]

Morning

Has anyone fitted uprated trackday pads with the standard 182 discs?

I'm thinking of Ferodo DS2500 pads.

Cheers

Matt.

Mine runs this setup, did ok at the airfield like it too.

DS2500 are fast road pads only imo, they wilt on track.

nooooo, they'll be fine!

Depends on the track and driving style, as to weather they fade.


Dont forget fluid is just as likely to cause fade so use decent stuff.

they are fine i have just finished my 3th track day at donington with racing slicks on and they worked fine i have cooked my brake fluid but that's not down to the pads that's me being to harsh under braking and i am using dot 4 i have got to get myself some dot 5.1 fluid

I am using DS2500 pads with RenaultSport Gr. N front discs and everything is just fine on track

Friend of mine has ds2500 and standard discs and he also does not have any problems on track. There is no fading with any setup

stock discs are a bit poo

brake lines are a MUST

Understatement, do not use std discs and uprated pads.

DUST CITY!!

Brembo hi-carbon and ds2500's (for the less hardcore)

Or my choice PF97's and brembos.

1 Dry lap of the ring and they overheat, leaving pad deposits on the discs that then cause a vibration through the brakes and very poor braking at the next bend. The material is too soft for anything heavier than around 800kg on track, fast road they are fine.

i always thought dot 5.1 is more of a race fluid and needs to be bled more often than dot 4???
