Massive difference and upgrade in stopping power. The STD breaks are good but these are another level. Highly reccomend them .. with the ds2500 pads

 

[extremeinferno]

thanks for the quick reply , wheres the cheapest place to get them?

 

[The Boosh!]

I think that Fred & Pete@Autonation can beat Ktec's price, but not by much!

i've got them with the DS2500 pads (and braided lines woth Dot5.1 fluid) and they're ace! the DS2500 do give off a hell of a lot of brake dust though so if you're a clean freak be prepared to wash those wheels frequently.

cheaper if you go via the cliosport designated area of K-tec's site too ;-)

I've not tried the DS2500 (still) but I assure you the Carbone Lorraine will make you think you have 8-pots. Amazing stopping power. I wouldn't use them on the road though. Too hardcore.

 

[extremeinferno]

il have a think on it, seems like its the best thing you can do to improve brakes without spending mega bucks.


thanks for your help guys!

the Carbone Lorraine RC5+ is a better option for a road car when you take into account dust, noise, pad/disc wear. the Carbone Lorraine RC6 you saw on ktec's site is really a race pad.

we do have both the CL RC5+ and the RC6 in stock and can dispatch immediately if you decide on them..

+ they stick to your wheels and paint like sh!t to a blanket!

My CLs were from Ktec. They lasted one track day and came out with bent backing plates on the piston side, as well as 80% worn. They never once faded. Incredible pads. You'll boil your fluid thricefold long before these fade.

Amazing, and I would use them again, but they're proper race pads. Track only.

 

[White16valver]

But, as Kam says, they were the RC6 compound which, AIUI, has more iron in it and therefore do the evil dust thing a lot more than the RC5+, which has more copper in it

 

[Munson]

Perhaps. That's why I'm specific about mine being from k-tec.

I didn't have dust issues at all, and they didn't rape my discs. I'll certainly try any CL pad again. I'll most likely use them again at Rock. Then I may try DS2500 for a Spa 2-dayer

 

[White16valver]

I think I'm going to try the RC5+ with some high carbon discs.

Should be good :evil:

how much do you charge for some rc5+ and some cl disc?

me too mate :approve:

 

[Jonny1*2]

go for the ds2500s mate, good compromise between road and track pads. Nice stopping power without damaging the wheels and discs.

 

[sgtbash999]

the other option to throw into teh mix would be Mintex 1144's as they are very good for fast road use / occasional track also

 

[White16valver]

This is true!
