my brakes will be needing a bit of attention soon,

what pads would be good for my trevor T350, are the standard AP racing pads good enough or are there pads with a better 'feel' but still durable,

and what brake fluid? dreadnought said mintex blue racing fluid i think but again im just wanting other opinions, as i cooked the fluid at knockhill at the weekend. ooops smoking front calipers.

thanks

See the other recent thread - Ferodo DS2500. Also, make sure you're using decent fluid - check the performance on the fluid you put in - many DOT 4s are as good as DOT 5.1s. Fluid should be changed every 12k service.

SFR Brake Fluid.

I am running Mintex F4 Race pads. Better feel than the orginal and excellent stopping power.

thanks
