Brake Pads - Replacement

[Bubu]

Even bigger brakes may not help if your old man is not using the car properly. Dont know how much track experience your old man has but its common for beginners to ride the brakes. You have to either brake or gas (or just coast if your still learning), but you cant ride the barkes or they will over heat.

I know someone with an Evo with a huge brake setup (see photo, and yes they are 18 inch rims with 6 pot calipers and 2 piece 343mm rotors) he had the same problem at Wakefield. He changed his driving style and problem is now gone. Unfortunately by then he already needed to have his rotors machined twice from heat warping.

Agree with bubu, never ride brakes, and once you are back in the pit, make sure you cool it well... and no don't ever wash your car after a hard ride.
if you google it, you will see why it's all brake (to a point to not lose the traction) and lots of throttle control. Smooth driving is good, but riding brakes bad, and gives you slower time.

I went with the 312mm Audi TT setup in the end.

GSL can do them, but you need to provide some pads so they can either use the backing plate or make a template.

Maybe put a message up in their Sponsor thread.

Disagree here, i use GSL 99% of the time for all of my brakes and he can match them up without backing plates, ive done a few 312 upgrades now with totally no hassle and all GSL supplied, all you need to know is where the donors come from, and at a very competitve price supplied and fitted.
