track setup

[pee]

What pressures does anybody run in tyres on the track and what shock settings and ride heights??
Also has anybody tried other brake pads in the AP setup other than the 2500 ferodo.
cheers Pee

I'm still playing around at the moment and of course it will vary (a bit) from track to track and also different weather, but I run the tyres 2-3lbs down on recommended pressures and my Intrax on around 35-40 clicks front and 40-45 clicks rear.

Seems to perform fairly well but I will be playing around further when the season starts!

on the standard tyre pressures I've seen 2 differing sets of pressures, what should they be???

I used to run around the factory pressures on trackdays, but after reading the information on the Dunlop site i've raised the pressures considerably,to what I feel is good effect. The shocks I try on different settings in between 25 and 35 clicks.

On the brakes, i changed the pads to Mintex F1 which are comp pads and not reccommended for road use,however when they get hot they are excellent.

I tried Mintex F4 - they bite from cold and when they get hot! I believe that the F1 can snatch at road speeds

WHAT WOULD YOU GUYS SAY IS THE BEST USABLE ALROUND PAD OUT?? NOT TOO IMPRESSED WITH THE DS2500 ( DIDN'T FEEL ALL THAT SNAPPY)
CHEERS PEE

I use the F4 on the road. Have tried EBC, performance friction 0 compoun (not kind to discs) and Mintex 1166. The F4 works for with with nice cold bite, high friction and a linear response to speed and temp They work exceptionally well from 160 mph and stop significantly quicker than Ferrari's £28,000 or whatever price)carbon discs and pads! Try Questmead for advice- they generally do race teams but will help/supply for road cars

I agree with Guy, speak to Questmead, they have a full selection plus good advice.
