  1. I get what you are saying but to be fair the OP said he is looking for discs and I would assume the ones currently on the car are needing replaced.

     

    He has also stated its for fast road use, if someone comes to me for discs for normal road use I would recommend the Pagid discs but if its fast road then I think an uprated disc of good quality that will cope with the higher temperatures reached from someone pushing on is a sensible move.

     

    We sell plenty of DS2500 pads but for purely fast road use I would say they are overkill hence I recommend the Hawks or Brembo Sport. Sam did mention the Ferodos :)

     

    I do agree with you that fresh fluid is a good idea and braided hoses will improve pedal feel.

     

    Regarding the member recommending a trader I assume you are talking about Alex? If so we are not affiliated in an way we bought over stock from Alex two years ago but there is no connection now although I would class Alex as a friend :)

  2. Option 4 from Ewen @ CMS, however DBA T3 is worth considering. :thumbs:

     

    What difference is there between the t2 and t3?

     

    I can highly recommend DBA T3 discs with Ferrodo DS2500 Pads. It is a great combination!

     

    While your there change to some braided brake lines and some Motul RBF600 fluid. You won't regret it.

     

    I am definitely going change to the braided lines at some point. Heard some good things about the DS2500 pads but not sure whether these are overkill for the road?

     

    Both the T2 disc and T3 disc are made of the same high quality cast iron that DBA use, the T3 goes through a further heat treatment process which allows it to deal with higher temperatures experienced on track.

     

    Both feature the Kangaroo paw ventilation system which makes them deal with higher temperatures compared to conventional straight veined discs.

  3. The main thing to keep in mind is cast iron quality. Cheap discs use a low quality cast iron compared to the higher end brands so slotted does not mean they are automatically a better disc.

     

    The eBay specials around nowadays are all just cheap blank discs with slots and or drill holes that are mainly there for looks only.

     

    Brembo Sport, DBA, PF etc that have been mentioned are all made from high quality cast iron hence the higher price.

  4. Hawk pads are not EC approved so fall into the same category as the Ferodo. That being said I have never heard of anyone having issues running race spec pads on a road car.

     

    A great alternative that is road legal and still a good pad for track work is the Brembo Sport which we can supply.

     

    For a disc that will stand up to the extra heat generated on track the T3 from DBA is a great choice. The slot design will not tear up the pad surface in anyway.

     

    There are other more suitable pad options that are track bias but by the sounds of things you need a good all rounder.

  5. I just looked up satellite internet costs as I hadn't looked for years: OUCH!

     

    Tooway, for example, offer at most a data cap of 100GB (although unlimited browsing and email, no doubt via their servers), all for the bargain price of £6.99 a month for equipment rental AND £99.99 A MONTH FOR THE DATA! Max speeds of 22/6 as well, so hardly earth shattering.

     

    Nope, sod that.

     

    We bought the equipment outright which makes it a lot cheaper in the long run. I'm looking at it from a business prospective though for personal use it would be a fair bit more expensive than regular broadband.

     

    But if the service is that bad and there is no there option you don;t really have a lot of choice.

  6. Is satellite broadband a better option then? I know in heavy rain I can loose my satellite signal on some weaker channels.

     

    As you can imagine we get a lot of rain here and only once has it lost signal and that was for less than a minute. Other than that its been perfect.

     

    Its getting on 5 months that we have had it now. Compared to the amount of times the regular broadband used to drop out sometimes for hours which was a nightmare when you are trying to run a business.
