Recommend me some pads

Coming frm somebody who has just done a trackday i will tell u straight up that ds2500 will be no good.cars heavy and will overheat them fast. I used ds3000s on my snet trackday few weeks back and whilst they did not fade whatsoever and where flawless they are over half worn in just 116 miles on track. If u want a pad that will last (and your gonna for £200 plus) i would not buy ds3000s. After some reasearch my next step will be buying some rc6e brake pads .these are about £240 odd but are endurance pads so will last more than 5 mins . Hope this helps

 

Hi Nick
i would go for performance friction Z rated pads and get yourself a set of Brembo plain disc's, i have a set of Endless pads in at the moment but when there gone i will be going back to the Z rated pads.

 

I have just ordered a set of Z rated pads delivered for £107, i paid £400 for the endless pads and most other pads are around the £200-250 mark, so that is a reasonable chunk difference towards some plain disc's, when i ordered my disc's, they had plain in stock, told grooved disc's were no made to order.

 

Not necessarily, i have a good local motor factors that gives me great deals and discounts.
The pads i have just bought are from https://newalfaparts.co.uk/ the part number is 1001.11, my Endless pads came form Japan, i do a lot of searching for the best deals available so anywhere really.
It also depends on what sort of things you are after, car parts or consumables

 

Performance Friction Z Rated

Speak to Alan at ASP Trading and mention Meganesport/John Burley and they'll be £105 delivered i think.

Kamracing sells the PF Z rated

 

Braided lines are absolutley worth it.havent ever done trackday with stock rubber lines. Braided lines give a far superior feel and help braking feel positive and solid. A must if u ask me

 

What's a ball park price on PF Z rated pads, brembo discs, braided lines and fluid from those who have made the change?

Its something I want to do in the near future.

Would changing the lines void the warranty?

 

Whats the deal with these z rated pads.are they for track specificaly. And do they compare to ds3000s ,wear rate etc ?

 

another vote for PFZ pads.
Worked great at bedford autodrome which is notoriously hard on brakes.

 

PFZ, I'm very impressed with them.

i love my carbotechs..but they are a different league in price compared to pfz.

 

Fast Road/Light Track Day, very similar to DS2500 but a bit better i'd say.

Very kind on discs and they last ages.

 

I run the z rated on my R26, I've got the 250 disc conversion, I've got to say, the z rated are fantastic with that setup, ar £105 a set, its a no brainer, I use mine mostly on track.

 

If you don't mind me asking, how much did that set you back Nicholas?

 

About right really, it'll take about 1L to flush the old stuff maybe a bit more if you want to be fully sure it's all new stuff.

 

Whatever u do ....when u renew he brake fluid remember to do clutch fluid renewal also !!!

 

if doing fluid change yourself should be aware quite easy to introduce air into clutch line. as they share same reservoir much depends on what system you use to change the fluid

 

now thats a great position to be in, well done

 

Find a quite piece of road, brake from 70-80 to 30mph four or five times with 70% brake effort, after each slow down drive for as long as you can to let the disc's and pads to cool down.

 

With any pads like these being carbon metallic it's just to get any of the excess gases out from the material.

10 medium stops from about 90 to 50 with a cooling period in between, i.e. don't do them one after the other or else you'll just get them too hot too quick. Then drive home trying not to use and heavy braking. Park up and let them cool overnight.

I usually do a few more the next day just to be sure.

 

When you get your Hel brake lines, just check them over in the banjo cross holes for burr`s. (Not trying to piss on your excitment of getting new car parts).

This is the approved PFC brake bedding procedure. That's what the recommend, so that's what I did.

 

Give us some feedback when you've had a chance to try them out. It would be great to know what you think of them as a comparison to the previous set up.
