Sagaris Track Brake Pads

Anyone with some ideas here?
Toyo R888's arrive monday, new F1's on the other set of wheels.

R888's have huge grip, really need more neg camber than standard to avoid wearing outer edge on track. Do slow right down for large puddles OR standing water! Ferodo DS2500 are best pad I've found after trying various (see earlier threads) Have fun

as above - with those tyres I think you will be getting close on track to the std suspension limits - youd probably wont some stiffer springs and Nitrons to cope with the extra grip - you amy hit the bump stops (the OEM tyres are surprisingly good for occasional track work)

brakes wise - the best Ive found (everyone is different!) are Pagid RS42 or RS14 - RS42 for fast road and occasional track session....for heavy track with sticky tyres (R888) then RS14 are the daddies
you will really need a revised set-up to get the best from the R888 .... prob + 1.5 camber on the front, .15 toe out, 1.0 toe in rear and 2 to 2.g rear camber ...they take a couple of laps to warm up ...also go out an do a few laps, then come in and drop the pressures (now very hot) to your cold settings - about 24 all round .
