Who can do a good price for S2 calipers?

Hi Rick,

Just a thought on Ds3000's. I have run them in the M3 as a daily driver and whilst they have serious bite and fade resistance they have the worst brake dust ever. I have had to have my wheels re-painted due to them. I prefer pagid yellow rs29's (iirc).

Pagid RS29's are great for the Beemer, but IMO a little harsh for the skimpy little RST.

Why not DS2500's Rick? Or Mintex 1144's?

Martin Hadland is your best bet on price probably.

Rob's just got some for his 4pots on the astra and they were just over a ton IIRC

1144's are a bit soft, I have them on my BMW where they are great for a daily driver. 3000's have a very high co of friction, they are for track pads/wheels, have others for road use.

awesome pads, but wheel killers!
Anyone ever seen them being used at night?

Have had all 4 discs glowing using them on the TME. Was coming down from 160 to zero on a slip road which was downhill and covered in the special grippy tarmac. Plus was running dunlop do1j tyres so had loads of grip. It was madness how well they bit even when glowing.

If you are considering ds3000's then rs29's are a fair comparison. They destroy the wheels FAR FAR less and are nearly equally as effective in my experience on track/ring.

Ever seen the fireworks they throw out of the wheels?
That looks great!

Rick

Up, what about pagid RS14 or 15's?

Well I wouldn't use them for track work on an Escort at any price.

Big heavy Escos or Subaru maybe but not an ERST
