Trackday pads

[BIFCAIDS]

I've got RC5+ in the Clio, holy s**t (I'm new to track days, I only have 4 days experience) they are good. Totally f**ked my braking references up for Oulton because I was used to braking a tad earlier on the standard Brembo's.

Another one for RC5+ the difference between them and DS2500 is unbelievable.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

You pay for it mind but they are awesome

 

[imprezaworks]

Didnt think the price difference is that great?

I went for DS2500 in the end as I got some with around 80% meat left on them for £60 posted.

For cadwell they were epic, didn't notice any fade on the total of 2 laps I actually ended up doing... :blush::blush::blush::blush:

Bloody ell dann lol what happened there.

 

[dann2707]

My wheel came off

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Not ideal mate that! Hope easy/cheap fix for you

 

[sonny172cup]

ouch...loose wheel bolts or something else?

Did you have brake judder as this can cause bolts to work their way lose (but not to that degree though).

My bet's on a screw in stud conversion.

He was using longer bolts i think with spacers.

He's got studs now.

 

[alistairolsen]

Fair enough, seen too many set of studs coming lose for my liking now.

Correct.

The nuts or the studs themselves?

The studs should be ok if torqued and loctited in.

Screw in studs only come loose if fitted incorrectly, its hugely important to make sure both hub and stud are 100% free of grime and grease. I run a tap through each thread spraying brake cleaner to get them fully clean, then use a high quality stud lock like Loctite to make sure they never come loose.
