just wondering what ye would recommend?

brembo groved discs and yellow stuff pads as there the best of both worlds as alot of the really good track pads sqeall after doing a track day.

if your going do a few more track days in the future i would recommend braided brake lines and some 5.1 brake fluid

EBC discs and yellow or redstuff pads, and as said above some braided lines

I have used a lot of different disc/pad combos! AP Racing, EBC Mintex discs and mintex pads all grades, Padget black and yellow and EBC red and yellow stuff!
Next time I will defo be getting Performance friction Discs and Carbon Lorraine pads!
I'm not entirely sure how Carbon lorraine grade there pads, so you'll need to get advice on which heat grade to go for!

Have carbone Lorraine rc5 pads on car - great stoppers BUT horrible for squealing

thanks for the replies lads
is there much of a difference between red stuff and yellow stuff pads?

reds are just a road pad and would not stand up to much track work where as yellows are more track based but also good on the road i use them in my wagon and find them excellent on road and track
