The uprated discs sound great but just wanted to add a bit of perspective here by saying that the Standard discs and Ferodo pads are great all-rounders for the price.[/quote]
Very true & no one is knocking that fact....It's all relative to the way you use the car/the way you wt the brakes to work, for how you drive the car.
Eg when i 1st had a UK DC2 (back in 1999 V reg - V*** GGV if anyone has it i would love to see it again, 1st new car i ever owned. Looking at a pic of it on the wall now.....Sorry got carried away :lol: ) For the 1st year i had it & did one or two t.days i thought the brakes were spot on & could'nt understand it when i heard some owners had upgraded there's :|
But then as i got into t.days more the 2nd year/cut slicks/coilovers....Later on the brakes, the problems started. From doing t.days no prob on OEM discs/pads, i would now get them cooked in 3 laps :shock: Got so that i had to use performance type pads & change discs every 2 t.days
Same prob's with the DC5 & that's how the 2 piece discs came about...
Just watch it once the Track day bug get's you, you will find out wt i'm talking about :wink: :lol:
And i'm not saying there's not even better brakes out there, but at around 2-2.5K for good one's :shock: plus having to replace the OEM wheels, then if you need/wt a good upgrade it makes the 2 piece discs seem cheep :idea: :wink:
