dcash5 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Adam is your man for techniques! Don't let him show off about his 2 nipples at once though!!! I actually designed a system with HEL that alot of people now use on the forum, available through the traders on the forums. Really firms up the brake feel though, give you more confidence in braking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasemonkey1234 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hi guys I am looking for a good, responsive system that is not a AP racing type upgrade for trackday work. I have got DS2500 pads and thinking about Motul RBF600 fluid so uprated brake lines seemed an obvious choice. What are your thoughts? Cheers al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcash5 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Seems very logicial sir. a tried and tested formula that works well. I have that setup without the fluid, Im just using bogstandard dot5.1 and it works very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS 2500 Pads will be okay for light track work. RBF 600 or 660 will serve you well Hel or Goodrich lines are all that you will need. I assume that you are running Brembo callipers and stock rotors.

Chris`I Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 For light track work, uprated pads, braided lines and some RBF600 will serve you well. I noticed the pedal get a lot firmer, more responsive and just generally feel better when I got my lines done. Do be careful with how hard you abuse std or slightly uprated discs on the track, they arent up to the full abuse that the AP or other BBK setup can handle.
