Anyone using 330mm brake upgrade and is it worth the money?

ive had a 330mm kit and have gone back to the standard size with decent pads and never had an issue since.

 

Coming from a 172, 197 and 265 I find the brakes on my 225 well below RS standards as well. I was looking to go for a more aggressive pad with braided lines (DS2500).

 

Ive got PF 330 kit on mine with Pagid RS5 pads and uprated fluid, brakes are brilliant, no fade on track and a consistent pedal, well worth it imo.

 

Same here only difference I'm using the DS 2500 pads, no problems and never had any brake fade

 

If you all ready have plain HC discs try the DS 1.11 pad or the DS 2500, that will cure your problem along with some good fluid, if your still not happy then you will of lost nothing as you will still use the pads, another very good pad is the carbotec XP 8 , use jjcraceandrally for you pads , best price

 

Ive just had the Cazan Racing 330 brake upgrade put on mine with ds2500 pads and uprated fluid and it really is a great set up

not tested on track yet though

 

Half the price to the PF kit as well

 

it does look like a nice kit, i would have gone for that if it had been out at the time.

 

I simply replacewd the pads for ds3000 pads and find the brakes fine on my 225 cup

 

This too but I have been using PF pads. As good a the M3 GT-R I recently had the pleasure of round Silverstone. Only one problem. The pads like to oxidise on the lower half of the car turning it yellow. Plenty of IronX required. Moved to Standard Discs and DS1.11 pads whilst I rebuild the discs over winter. Good but not as good as PF. Hoses and fluid a must. Running SRF.

 

DS2500's aren't very extreme. These were the oem pads fitted to the R26.R

 

Thought they were brembo

 

Brembo use Ferrodo for their pads.

 

Well if that's the case I may as well buy the OEM ones then , they maybe cheaper

This any good

 

I must of been waisting my hard earned cash for years buying DS 2500s

 

Bit more info.
I think std are Fdb 1667 and DS 2500s are FCP 1667h
Ending h means 2500 compound
the DS 1.11 end in w
DS 3000s end in R
hope this helps

 

There not DS 2500s I and many others use them with no problems at all, if your after a set up that good for road and fantastic on track then use the HC plain discs and DS 1.11 pads , you will be amazed with the stopping power

 

I've got some brembos in the garage and I can safely say they are not the same as ds2500's lol

Put them in one day and nearly set them on fire lol

 

The ones I took off my brand new R26.R?

 

How you drive and what you set on fire is your business. I am not on here to argue. DS2500's (in my opinion) are not that extreme. Take or leave it.

 

I have the DS1.11's in now. They're good and consistent but not a mark on the PF's. I just didn't like the PF's re decorating my car.

 

I have AP Discs,and DS 2500 pads. I did 10000 miles this year, including 7 trackdays. At MOT time, the Master Tech said the pads had 75% left. This is either an excellent setup,or the fact that I never go above 40MPH!!.

 

It's the fact that you use the grass to slow down mate

 

I also have ap 356mm discs & ds2500 pads. Never had any fade on track & plenty of bite.
