Better brakes for Exige
Discussion
What are the options for better brakes on an 06 ExigeS? Car is only for track days, but I'm having major issues after only a few laps.
Brakes are currently standard except for some Pagid RS4.2 pads.
I realise there are AP kits etc out there, but from what I've read it seems that these might be overkill for a track day car? But there are a ton of disc/pad options out there, so any advice is appreciated.

Ok, thanks again.
Is it advisable to do the rears, simply to balance out the effect of doing the fronts? Or do the rears suffer from fade as well?
Also, am I to assume that even though the disc is bigger, the standard pad will still cover the area effectively?
I note that Lotus do a 305mm disc as an option on their 4pot package. Are these anywhere near as good as the AP's (as they are half the price!)

Yes, track days and road use only so I'm not keen on new calipers and stuffing with bias etc. And sorry I didn't explain what i meant. The lotus solution I just meant as a DISC alternative to the AP's, I wasn't intending on getting the calipers. But you've cleared up the price difference already.
Can I get away with just doing the fronts for now, and seeing how I go? Or do you definitely think I'm better off going for rears while I'm at it?
