It's like an operation room.
If the brakes won't have TUV paper, I need to do it from scratch with the TUV.

Well, I saw your post and I was checking again the CSLcup brakes.
Hm, any feedback for them ?
I haven't asked for TUV papers, but the 'CSL Cup' brakes are the Mono6 and Mono4 calipers Alcon have been making for quite some time for numerous other cars (including the WRC Subarus etc). They are also sold as a common brake kit upgrade for numerous other cars on the open retail market, so getting a certificate of conformity is not going to be difficult. Alcon remain one of the largest brake manufacturers.

Performance wise? The hardware is as robust/solid as they come. Braking performance is up there with the best and will test the grip of MPSCs on a dry day. Tyres are, at the end of the day, the limiting factor in braking.

DON'T use Ferodo DS2500s for anything other than normal road use. (I found this out at the recent 'Ring trip ), contrary to what anyone may tell you.

Pagid brake pads are the way to go (yes, I am a supplier of them). RS29s are the pad of choice for fast road/track day use.

In the long term, I can only relate to the same Alcons I used on my GT3. The discs were faultless in performance and lasted 30k+ miles and dozens of trackdays from Hockenheim to UK circuits before they needed changing.

Alcons - good enough for WRC teams and FIA GT, good enough for us.

And Alcons don't need spacers.
