Best disc and pads for track

[Jim333]

Hi all in going to start prepin the vrs for track days and ring trip next year just looking in to disc and pads atm, what is everyone using?

Looking at brembo max disc and not sure about pads yet just on the vrs calipers don't know if I want to upgrade yet

[redcupraboy]

I'm not too sure on discs I'm afraid. But can recommend the Ferodo DS2500 pad, however I haven't run them on my Fabia, ran them with Cupra R Brembos on my last car and were great!

Ye a few of my mates have type r's and they run ds2500 and said they are mint haven't seen them for a vrs anywhere

Going by what people say the first upgrade you should do is move upto the 312mm front brakes, my car was running them when I bought it so never tried the standard sized vrs brakes but it is most peoples opinion they are under braked for the weight of the car.

 

Pretty cheap upgrade tbf too

Try the Brembo discs and pads if they're available for the Fabia, had them on my Mazda and they were very good.

I have Brembo Max discs and they're excellent, a little noisier than standard but a decent improvement in performance, these and Ferodo or Mintex harder pads and you'll be ok. Of course a 312 upgrade would be best of all, and don't forget to change all your brake fluid out because under track conditions even the tiniest amount of water in the fluid will boil and your shiny new brakes will fade.

312mm Brembo discs with DS2500 pads would be my choice. Plus fluid change.

The pads will squeal a little in traffic sometimes though.

grooved discs and DS2500 pads work well on my car.

[faboka vrs]

Standard disc and ds2500 work well for me.

[Jim333]

How much are ds2500 pads? And any links

Thanks

[coskev]

They are circa £150 for the 312mm front brakes.

 

I've gone for EBC Yellowstuff after a couple of recommendations, they were half the price of ds2500 and are a great pad

Another vote for DS2500. OEM 312mm discs for me
