Brakes for Salzburgring ?????

[J2LTB]

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 .

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.

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

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 ....

What people's opinions on the BMW performance calipers group buy on cutters ?

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

imo, an' I've said it before, ap are great etc but standard with RS29/lines/fluid is great also and manageable. Intrax would get my dosh before ap. I have standard suspension but would say the difference to Intrax is greater than the difference to ap/ standard with rs29's.

Once you have had a decent set up on a car, oem stuff just isn't up to the grade..... so flex that card and get some AP's, as shim says, you won't look back....


Salzburg is a long way to go, but the way I see it I am never going to be on track with 50 csl's, bmw instructors, and heidi in the background. It has to be done
