Or maybe DS3000.
Although DS2500's seem to be everyones favourite.

EBC Bluestuff ruin discs.

not suitable for what he's asking for. Good road pads, but an 1155 for ocasional track, or even 1166 if you're feeling hardcore. 1144's will cook on track
I used carbon Lorraine last time I went the ring

Cant understand whats wrong with ds2500, id suggest try some PF97 but they eat discs for fun and the dust is a shitter if you like cleaning your car!!

From our experiance PF97's are not that hard on discs. We did a whole season of racing/testing/trackdays, 12 hours of running in total and they were about half worn. the pads were like new tho so the 3-4 sets of discs per set of pads seams about right.
Were currently using Yellowstuff, they have worn the discs more than the pf's did and have only done 5 hours. We like them tho and they are cheap pads.
M1144's are fine for going to the shops but would last about 1min of the lap at the ring

he doesn't like them, it's not that difficult to comprehend. I'm not a fan either really, work fine but I dont like the feel.
Cliolord changed from ferodo's to mintex 1155 on my recommendation (he didn't like the ds2500 either) and found them really good at Bedford

Cheers Craig, be interested to hear how they compare
Surely some of the forums esteemed in-house experts must be able to voice an opinion on the blacks?

PF97s have epic stopping power, and don't fade. Great for track use.
Yes I did have to spend ages cleaning my wheels, but that was mainly because I was a little enthusiastic bedding them in, and a lot of disc ended up on the alloys.

Go with some CL's Kev, had some on the Cup and they were fantastic! All this rubbish about falling apart still is nonsense, agreed there was a bad batch however that was ages ago...
Havent tried these PF97's but may well do soon, seems like the perfect upgrade to the CL's without wasting money on 4pot calipers.

I can't see how 4 pots are necessary tbh on a Clio.
PF97s or similar + Brembo HCs = awesome

Completely agree, some say there good for being 'progessive'. How about just brake smarter? lol
The only way your going to be able to brake harder is with better tyres, funny that people on here buy 4pots for better allround braking but then run average joe tyres!
Ive not had any issues with mine.
