   ever thought about just using better pads and learning to use the brakes properly?
   
   it will be much cheaper in the long run.
   
   try adding some brake ducting btw, helps massively.

   the omp pads are the bollox and cost a £10 more than the ebc yellow stuff, the yellows worked ok but didnt quite have the stopping power of the omp, but they will last a week end ,
   the ebc blue stuff for raceing just didnt feel that nice and glazed over
   the ebc redstuff just cooked burnt all the paint off and just didnt work lol,
   carbone larraine are the bollox rc5 or the rc6 but starting at 90-100 for a set and they will die in a week end its getting sill as i would be spending over a grand just on pads in a season lol.
   this is why i am trying to track doen a surplyer of the omp pads,
   i gonna order a set of the ferrodo ds2500 and 3000 for this week end at silverstone and then testing at brand too

   I know what your talking about, them pads are so good, the brake power with them was crazy better then others I used, but only problem to track days totally gone.
   
   Very good price, and very good pads. But omp did say that have a high wear rate.

   give me the part number and I'll call OMP to find out their stock. We can ship them on a fast dhl delivery within the week.

    hi
    
    i have used CL RC6s, noisy, but do the job.
    
    Ferodo DS3000s seem to work well at the moment
    
    next im going to try Ferodo DS111's
    
    also look at Pagid RS4-2
    
    none of these are cheap - but get what you pay for.
    
    - colin.
