Hallo

I have the Prodrive Brakes bring fitted to the car next tuesday.

Any tips on bedding them in?
How long till I can use them fully?

How hard do u need to go to get them to warp - i.e. how do u not warp them?

I wont be doing trackdays - well - i dont think i will

I know APs are meant to be better - but went for the prodrive ones for other reasons

Or is that one big mistake?

Cheers
Phil

Prodrive brakes are fantastic for fast road driving. Only a track day on a hard circuit like Knockhill (luckily nowhere near you ) will show up any (theortical) weaknesses.

Enjoy,

Richard.

seeing as KH is the only circuit i am likely to go on - should i change my mind and get the AP racing 4pots and 330 mm disk?

or even the new ScoobySport / KAD kit?
