    VTR/VTS front brakes are fine, just fit braided flexi's all round, fresh hi temp brake fluid and some track friendly pads.

    As above really, the standard setup for the VTR/S is not the best for track, but some uprated pads and you should be good.

    DS2500's preferably, although they are a pretty penny. Nothing on CL pads though.

    If its a pure track car, then CL Brakes RC6 are some of the best you can buy. Not cheap but good parts are not. These are popular with the stock hatch racers and they drive harder than you ever will

    If you intend to drive to the track, I prefer an all-rounder such as the Ferodo DS2500 as this will wear discs less at colder temperatures.

    Have you still got the drum rear axle? Might be swapping that out for VTS/R one.

    when you define the parameters the brakes are used under its easier to work out what is best for an individual so call it a clarification lol
