Default track day brake pad help please

HI all

I had ebc greens in my RST when i got it, worst pads ever(IME), the budget ones i stuck in from halfords worked way better as a temp job till i got around to fitting something better

I use DS2500 and they're really good. If it's a deicated track car then DS3000.

yep

EBC... rubbish and very very inconsitant batch to batch

DS2500, DS3000 (can be too snatchy) run both on clio and pleased.

Run Pagid blues on Lotus. very good,

Anything but EBC!

Agree with Lee - Yellow stuffs seem to be much more consistant, I wouldnt touch greens or reds though LOL
