New Car, some tips on brakes pleaseeee

[WillRS]

Hi Guys

Bought a 2006 197 yesterday. Happy so far and plan to turn it into a track(ish) machine.

Already stripped, 30mm dropped springs, semi slicks, decat but the brakes need new everything.

She has braided lines but wondering what the generally accepted best disc/pad/fluid combo is. I would say the driving will be mainly focused on track work but she is of course driven on the road.

I have Pagids on my other car but they're expensive so wondering if there are better solutions? Any tips where to buy the pads and discs from? See ECP sell pagid discs...

Thanks in advance

oem discs or brembo discs and ds2500 or ds3000 pads should suffice.

High carbon discs so they dont wear as fast with aggressive pads.

Ds3000 Ds1.11 perhaps

Thanks for your help guys. Will have a look at the options tomorrow and do some research. Cheers

I recently upgraded all mine, with help from the lunatics on here I went with Brembo HC on the front with DS1.11 pads, K tec black edition rear with Ds2500 pads also had the caliper seals etc replaced and a big big must have are a set of mr pinks pins for the front calipers to make life easier in the future plus they are just lovely to look at...sad right!.

Was really happy with my upgrades certainly stops now no problem.

Oh thanks for that. How do I get Mr Pink pins?!

Anyone tried EBC bluestuffs?

DS1.11 is probably one of the most commonly used pads on cars which are used mainly on the track but do get used on the road.

Do we get a forum discount at RoadTrackRace? See George has been mentioned above but not sure if we get money off?
