got the AP's (with the AP calipers) on my car at the moment but after anglesey they are not happy! :banghead: so i need/want to try a new set, simpson's told me which ones to get last week but totally forgot the name.

anyone using anything other than the AP disc?

performance friction

but what pads are you running? although i know AP can warp occassionally often it is pad deposits and if you run abrasive pads hard such as RS29 they will keep the disc clean!

if you were on track with DS2500 pads or similar i suggest you try this first if your discs have planty of life left in them:beer:

you could be right as i am running 2500's but still want to try the performance friction.

Don't use DS2500 - they just melt and will make any disks feel awful.
