Just wanted to ask people's opinion, what's the best for track out of Tarox 6 pots over 4pot brembo, was gonna run feredo ds2500 pads on standard discs, I completely cooked my brakes on my last track day as I only had Subaru 4pots with red stuff pads. Also do people think I should upgrade to 2 pot rear calipers. Look forward to see people info

Cheers

 

My mate Scoobjam74 has 6 pots with Ferodo's and has done a few trackdays. He's had plenty of chances to change to Brembos but hasnt and is more than happy with them.

Obviously depends what power your running + driving style, Jamie has a 6 speed classic with 340/370 so its no slouch and the 6 pots stop it well.

 

I'm running Tarox 6 pots and feel they out perform the Brembo's but only slightly so it depends on how deep your pocket is really

 

I run Tarox On the road so not on track.... but given the choice I'd go for the Brembo's with Carbotech XP8 pads

How are you getting on with the carbotech's shaun ??

 

Not sure if this helps but I run the standard gold brembos with standard discs and Pagid RS4-2 pads on my MY06 EDM Hawkeye STI with the standard RE070 tyres.

Braking performance is very strong - far better than with the standard pads in terms of initial bite, pedal feel and resistance to fade. I was also very impressed by the on-road manners of the pagids, no squealing and pretty decent bite from cold.

I have run Cosworth trackmaster pads and Ferodo DS2500 in the past. The cosworth pads were awful in my opinion - no braking power and terrible for fade (perhaps even worse than standard). The DS2500 were about the same as stock, i.e. not a patch on the Pagids.

The RS4-2 is a little more expensive than other pads but bloody hell it's worth it.
