Of course I would get AP's front and back having had them on my previous car, but funds dont allow currently!

Thanks in advance
I run standard brake set up on my SG CSL with upgraded "Performance Friction" Track Pads + Good-ridge bradded lines and the all important "Racing Blue" brake fluid. I've recently did a Track Day at a relatively short track (Brands Hatch) that is demanding on brakes and I'm mightily impressed with this set up as I had strong brakes all day (50+ laps) with zero brake fade . The best thing about the "Performance Friction" pads I have is they do not squeal one bit when they are cold, so are perfect if you use you CSL on daily basis or European trips
If you're thinking of doing the Ring, this set up will work very well there too.
