Hi could anyone point me in the right direction for some front discs/pads?looking to use them round the nurburgring and road use without warping standard fitment if possible? have heard good things about tarox and national sport could anyone help thanks

The discs you mention are good, I use EBC YELLOWSTUFF, which is a track pad but works awsomely well on the road, even from cold it is perfect, little bit dusty but no noise either, I did not use the anti squeal shims supplied, and still have no noise.
You will not go wrong with these pads IMO.

A lot of discs for the Cosworths include Cosworth Tax try Rally Design who wont charge you Cosworth Tax and make very good disc and pads for a lot cheaper than most companies.

Any personnal experience of these? they do look good prices but if need be i'll buy something a bit pricer for it to last longer

I found Nat Sport 8 groove and Ferodo DS2500 an excellent combination (Highly Recommended and about £175 from Woodford for pads & disks), that has stood up to track use, see sig.

I have used the DS range 2000/2500/3000.
They are not on a patch on the yellowstuff, which work from cold have loads of feel, which the ferodo don't.

Used DS perofrmance (2000) on my road car and are excelent.

DS2500 are very very good, ignore all the bull you hear about them when cold, i've found them perfect on 2 2wd cossies.

EBC's eat disks in my experience of Greenstuff, would never use them again.

Dave,did you go for the drilled and grooved ones or just grooved?

Just grooved (8), not been impressed with cross drilled disks in the past (Blackdiamond) as they crack to easily.
The grooves are sufficent to clean the pad and remove gas buildup between pad and disk, reducing brake fade.
I would highly recommend braided lines and some 5.1 fluid if you haven't got them already.

i have had ebc green stuff pads and ebc discs on my 3dr and they were crap.took the car to the ring and they didn't even last 2 laps.
i spoke to martin at reyland motorsport and he said that black diamond discs with ferodo ds2500 pads along with braided brake lines work very well so that is what i will be getting very soon

Just ordered national sport discs and ferodo pads some new type for the road,spoke to simon who said use the ds2500 for track only,seemed a really nice guy and helpfull
