Brembo brakes

[zakeri88]

Hey guys

 

One thing I haven't been particularly impressed with since getting my car is the brakes. Got a 58 plate HR Z. Its got the brembos but in relation to the speed and acceleration of the car, I don't think they're that great.

 

I was thinking about taking off the stock pads and swapping them for the DS2500s. Will this change alone make a significant improvement over the stocks?

 

Thanks

Disks , pads and braided hoses with a high quality fluid and they'll perform brilliantly, I love my setup.

^^ What he said.

 

I run EBC turbo groove discs, Goodridge braided brake lines, Ferodo DS2500 pads & Motul RBF600 brake fluid ~ no problems stopping here so far even under heavy sustained use.

The DS2500 will be an improvement over stock, will they be fitted to standard discs...

 

We have the pads available if you decide to opt for them...

I have dimpled and grooved discs with yellow stuff pads on my brembos. Standard hoses. They were recently fitted before I brought the car. The brakes are great, stops at any speed in no time and feels solid. Big improvement over the RX8 brakes and they weren't bad.

I got my Discs from Alex and can't remember the name plus Ferodo DS2500.

They made a noticeable improvement.

However now I have a Supercharger I need a Big Brake Set.

Still waiting for my HEL lines to be fitted Keyser/Buster.

I have experimented with other pads like Pagid and Yellow Stuff but soon put the DS2500's back in.

Find out from other people who have tried different pads and see what they say.

Okay so after trying to get the best balance between value and performance I've put this shopping list together:

 

2 x silolene brake fluid

Hel brake lines

DS2500 Front and Rear

EBC Ultimax Front and Rear

 

Is this about right?

The DBA T2's and Hawk PC pads combo is worth looking at Great for fast road use

Not a lover of HEL brake lines, a few fitting issues with them.

Motul RBF600 is the fluid to go for too.

I have the HEL lines they do exactly what any other braided lines do lol.. My brembos work perfectly. Even with oem type discs and pads
