Used for years with great effect

I haven't used these for a while but I have used them in the past in my old Porkers with good results

I'm pretty sure someone at the ring said they got through a N24 out of 1 set though? .... maybe it was BS?

Maybe at the 'ring, did 2 pad changes at Silverstone with them, were told they'd go through the race but used 2 sets and finished the race on RS29s.

The Alcons with RS29's will be outstanding for the use you envisage, i never suffered any brake fade that i can remember, and do like a good 40mins/60mins before coming in off track....the endless race stuff is designed to last a 24hr race, so maybe way over spec for what you require.

They look similar to me, but without seeing the spec sheets?? Lawsy or someone else in the know can maybe confirm that for you....if anything they will be better i would have thought?

HnT will be much easier, the travel means the pedals are bang in line and you don't have to twist your ankle as much.

With regards to SC....be very very careful!!...I don't know loads of people who've done it, but with the few i do, none has ended well!.....Persistent messing about sorting out overheating issues, eventually culminating in rapid disassembly, they seem to be fine in normal life, but when driven hard for prolonged periods on track, especially in summer!!.........For me you'd be much better taking that money and talking to Jon at JC Racing in Thirsk and getting a bomb proof BHP upgrade.....years of trouble free dicking about on track!!!.....i'm not sure of the packaging on a Z4M but you could also maybe get a CSL airbox to fit??.. she'll sound proper then too!

I hear what you're saying about SC - I've spoken with a few guys with blown M3s at track days and heat soak seems to be a problem. There are only a very few Z4Ms with SC that I'm aware of - the stage I ESS kit seems to have the same issues, but no one I talked with has reported problems with the Stage II kit as it has a separate cooler...

Lawsy, I've sent you a PM cheers
