Brake pads/line upgrade advice

I bought Performance Friction 01 pads directly from Performance Friction and from memory paid around £320 for a set.

The 01s are great on track, but if used day to day, the brake dust will corrude the alloys badly - becomes a real problem if you don't remove the dust after a trackday, and then the alloys get wet and then dry again - the dust bakes itself on!

Matt - which type of PF pads are you using?

Cheers

Phil

I've got a contact for the pads now, and have a really good quote. He recommends the PF Z rated. Any thoughts on these?

My CSL had these when i bought it. They were pretty good and coped with the Ring reasonably well (running standard brakes). Not a patch on RS29s though...

Those are the ones I have and as I mentioned before they are GREAT!

for Track use & daily duty. They should be around £65 + VAT per axle set (front + rear) so £130 +VAT. Superb deal. Go for it
