Brakes for Salzburgring ?????
 
I can't decide whether to book the Salzburgring track event or not. My main reason is my car is completly standard . The brakes all round are only 12 months old and seems a shame to wreck them.

Would pads all round suffice I.e ds2500 or pagid rs29's
I plan on Munich. Salzburgring and the Thursday at the ring for a quick 8 lapper !
My old car had fantastic brakes and suspension setup. Im suprised how inadequate the csl's are .:moan:

Put the R29's in all round and car will be good and they won't bugger the disc's but the DS2500 will eat them :(

Trouble is I'm reluctant to spend on pads when I'll do a 6 pot setup eventually.

What to do ???

One thing to say. Do the AP set up NOW, best money you will ever spend and never look back. Get booked in at Simpsons and sort it in April.

:wink:

Do the 6 pots but ask for pagid's rather than pads supplied (DS2500) :-D

From the link I saw it seems to be a fast flowing track with only a couple of braking areas. I may be wrong.
Normal brakes are fine and I would say go for it, just don't go for indurance stints ....

Not prepared to get the AP's this year. I've only had the car 3 months ! The wife would go mad. I can hide the lower priced stuff :smt055

AP's are the best for performance,pad availability and spares etc etc

You get what you pay for. I'm not sure any have that fitted, that will own upto it :whistle:

Theres nothing wrong with OEM unless you are going to track it a lot.
If you are, save until you can get the APs
