Only ever used yellow EBC's on mine but I have never needed a reason to go elsewhere. Always been fantastic with my setup anyway. I think next time I'm going to try some RC5+'s though just to see if there is any further improvement.

Hiding mate haha, I just dont use the forum that much anymore, I had my threads deleted etc, yeah got loads of updates might stick a thread up Shed is blocked on my work laptop lol.

Yep then DS3000s are expensive Alex!

[AlexBp]

Got a feeling ill end up blowing the budget with them but oh well its something very worth it

i use omp rally pads on 266 but a friend use carbole loraine and thats the way i will go next time ...

[AlexBp]

lets see how these fair at mallory

[AlexBp]

well mallory was yesterday

these pads fucking rock i am buying some for my high specs when i fit them for certain!!!

did 4 runs on track 3 15 minute runs no fade at all just got more and more confitent in them and harder and harder into the hairpin they kept asking for more even managed a lock up or 2 still on warm sticky r888s with 20psi (29 when warm) in

then i did a 25 minute run
same again no fade just got more and more agressive with the bit and more and more braking power

one of my passengers said she felt herself being properly forced into the harness cause of them on the run into both gerrards and shauns

in the standard tiny brakes i was outbraking lots including a coulpe of bigger cars with 4 pots!
definatly amazing pads

Thanks for the great review mate, i've been researching 247 pads for mine this summer and i've just ordered a set of these based on this thread.

Hopefully i'll like them as much as you do!

[AlexBp]

ill admit its not a massively great review lol
but they are fantastic!

[Harv]

Nice review Alex! I'm glad you liked them as I bought the RC6 pads that were on rallye reg. Got them for £40 posted so should do me for a few days .

Just goes to show what the standard setup will do with a decent pad material. You dont need huge calipers and discs the size of planets to have some fun

[AlexBp]

can have more fun with lunar sized brakes though
thats my next upgrade

True but what I'm getting at is the standards will still do a decent job with the right pad material, the upgrade isn't as vital as people make it out to be

[jpsaxo]

Got my set on order
