I'm in DESPERATE need of pads and rotors

[DerekFSU]

I'm getting 3-4 track days on standard Noble pads and 14-16 track days on rotors. I have one set of replacement pads coming tomorrow and that's all that is available from Noble here in the US.

I have 6 track days scheduled in the next 12 days. There are NO ROTORS available in the US to Noble owners. Any idea where I can find rotors asap?

I'm tracking it so much that I'd like to use a more aggressive pad but without enough rotors to cover the normal pads, there's no way I can upgrade.

I meant Martin , though you can probably see the reflections of his car from there.....

I did 4 laps of Rockingham at the March owners day (first time on a proper track day) and had to replace the standard pads. The pedal was almost to the floor, this on a car with 5 1/2 k on the clock.

But that's cause you drive like a woos and took every corner at 10mph, hence using 10 times more braking than you needed to

Seriously standard M12 road pads are very soft and quickly overheat and then wear rates go up massivly.

The DS2500 I think is the ideal compromise - 6000 miles and 10 track days (including 5 at Bedford GT) only required two sets of fronts and one set of rears (oh, and a new set of discs which isn't too bad going either!), but doesn't squeal like a pig and work right from cold on the road.

Simon, you rock. Thanks for the help. I'm contacting your folks tomorrow. Thanks again!

Is that normal to only get 3-4 track days on a set of pads? If so, I better order a replacement set soon.

Can anyone comment why the rotors would only last 3-4 trackdays? This doesn't seem normal.

Dean,

Please read Derek's original post: his rotors have lasted far longer than 3-4 track days!
