Im very interested in these.. I've got 2 x Euro trips booked for this year (no track days yet, Just fast road / Mountain passes etc, Opinions are divided with some saying just upgrade pads/ fluid/ hoses and others are saying the standard single caliper system is crap and will fade even off track, I would value any advice on a cost effective way forward.

These have the rep of being thee best brakes available. Put it this way, look behind the wheels of most rally cars and its Alcon all the way.
Look awesome Shane !!! |

With a pad upgrade, to a very good pad front and rear, hoses and good fluid, I doubt you will get fade on a euro trip, unless you are doing seriously high speed stops consecutively.
Light track use they will be "ok" too. They won't stop as well, or resist fade as well due to basic physics. Once you start pushing on though you quickly find the limits of the standard set up. I won't tell you a big brake kit is better because it will seem like I'm selling. My advice is to look at the quick boys on here, see whether they run standard brakes. Ask a few questions, and take on board differing views. I know the answer, so do you They look great too |

Any track unless you drive like Yanto will soon find the limit of the OEM even with pads and fluid upgrades. If you are going to track more than once and at your limit, get an upgrade now before you waste the track time.
