Hello

I have done a few searches, including this, an interesting read

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=122...

I cooked our Ferodo 2500 at the last track day at Lydden, but cant seem to find much else to try, some argue that EBC yellow (or other colours) work, the Carbone Lorraine seem to get good reviews. Brembo High Carbon Discs seem popular, any thought on Brembo Max?

This company seem to do a good deal

Obviously there is eBay, but I wanted to know if anyone has a hidden gem of a site for race temp brakes?

Thanks

p.s. anyone off to Lydden on 11th April?

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I've already done a few of the things suggested above, braided lines, racing high temp fluid and tried to improve the cooling with front fogs and wheel arch liner removal.

Had Ferodo 2500 on last time out, but cooked them pretty quick, learnt a valuable lesson that day!

Gravel is a great invention!





This would have really hurt otherwise!

Lots of great advice, will be busy sorting the little clio for next weekend.

Cheers, just clearing the smell of mould!

Well, took the plunge and went for the Ferodo 2500 again, all set for tomorrow, praying for dryer and warmer weather than is currently predicted.
