i believe the standard brakes with decent pads are meant to be plenty for the r5 matey...
Although i admit my car came with 285mm brakes, i guess the thing is its only a very light car.
Good comment, but what are peoples thoughts on standard sized brakes on track? I have been on track with the larger disks with standard pads. I experienced fade. I wonder if the standard disk with performance pads is the way to go in order to keep un- sprung weight to a minimum.Originally Posted by djinuk
Get some prices on various kits with differant pads and see what people want. If you want a group buy you need to make more effort than asking the club to sort it
If anyone was looking at doing this, might be worthwhile getting the extenders made up, possibly looking at DS2500 pads, and then some discs and making up the kit yourself
Extenders can work out around £45 I seem to remember
Pads are around the £70 and same with the discs
So for £185 you can get a decent setup, but then again most people think that just using normal sized discs with DS2500 pads will be fine.
