Hi Again,

 

Taking my car to the Nurburgring soon and wanted to replace the brake pads on the car before i go, which pads take most wear on a trip like that (front or rear) or is it a 50/50 split as want to put the more expensive pad one the area that is going to do most work and cheaper ones on the other area. cheers

 

ps- should i get some new disks too, planning to do 8-12 laps over 2 days and drive there and back.

Fronts, about 70-80% Do you have stock sized brakes...if so, your going to suffer massive brake fade on the ring !

yeh, gonna have to take it really easy i know, just boot it on the straights and pray in the corners!! cheers though

when you say stocked sized, i have grooved disks front and back but stock calipers. can anybody reccomend any pads that would suit best for trip.

any good or a bit s**t, might buy for the trip

mate for that price look at whats available, also get the fluid in your brake sys flushed for new and use good pads such as the ferrodo 2500 series ( the !140 jobbies not the 50 quid cheapies)

For that sort of money you can get a Big brake conversion, consisting of Bigger discs, and brackets to re-space the standard calipers. That will make a very noticable difference in braking.

where from, and also will they work with the standard z 16" wheels as i don't really fancy taking my 19" TSW's, £110 Per Tyre.

ah...no, you need 17"+

 

You'll have to stick with the standard sized brakes. Check out http://www.smithys-place.co.uk for brake options within the UK.

they all seem more expensive than the ebay stuff, guess you get what you pay for????
