As I suspected - forget about putting DS2000s on it . Put DS2500s, as they are a better compromise for fast road use .

I would also forget about putting traingular discs on, as they will cause the front end to wobble like a bastard. Stick with the normal round ones.... .

Mike,

I have DS2500's on my Es Cos now but the problem is I miss the initial "bite" of the DS2000's that I had fitted on my Bailey Saph.....Also, the DS2500's are also VERY hard on discs Wont be doing many track days anyway.

The reason that I need new AP discs now is because the DS2500's are only about half worn, but the discs are VERY worn!!!

Maybe I will consider the grooved AP discs - are you sure that the T2 discs cause a wobble as I have never noticed it

WILL NOT USE DRILLED DISCS EVER AGAIN.......as all they do is crack

Doug,
Wooosh, straight over your head

You must drive like an old woman then .

You're looking at around the £90 mark for DS2500s and slightly cheaper for DS2000s.

Yes, but how much for the T2 discs? They will be purchased as a package with the DS2000 pads

Mike, do you agree with me about the "bite" of the original DS2000's ???? I do feel that the DS2500's dont have such good initial stopping power, but get better as the discs heat up...Have you found this too??

Doug,
No I haven't, but I use DS3000s on the road with MAHOOSIVE discs. Never had a moment where I have found the braking wanting - even at mega slow speeds.

Will speak to AP and get back to you.
