I always use Ferrodo 2500, They never squeak and are excellent stoppers if on track or daily driving.

Do you really need disks? I believe they are TVR unique.

For pads get Ferodo DS2500s - do a search on this section of the forum for contact info. They're great.

thanks all for replies - will get full set of Ferodo DS2500s, though a quick search showed there for 2 pot not 4 pot (i believe the tam is 4pot)? will this matter? - on the disk side yes do need to replace - i have vibration that has been diagnosed as disks - quick call round today seems to show different sizes and costs seem to vary depending on who you call - no one has stock either so can't get them till mid next week at best believe its the 311 size if anyone knows a dealer or indy that has stock? does anyone have anything else fitted? thanks again.

Circuit supplies have the pads - they are the Ferodo importer - and will either have disks or know who has in stock, they're very helpful

Will discs not take a light skim ? Much cheaper and perfectly acceptable as a solution.
