Possibly both, having done a track day at Castle Combe yesterday, I was dissapointed with both brake fade and pedal travel
What are you running at the moment - standard all round?
Colin Ellis #456 It'll be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end
Yes, standard all round
The correct pads and correct brake fluid is all that is needed for track use. The fluid has to be good and you HAVE to bleed the calipers before going out on the track. We had special pads made which are up to the job but they tend to damage the wheel finish. Some members have these pads and have had no trouble with the standard disc/caliper set up. The problem is these pads are expensive.
I've found the EBC grooved, dimpled and vented fronts, plus Redstuff kevlar ceramic pads help at the front. They are also less prone to corrosion and worked well at Castle Combe on Saturday.
Cheers

80 screaming decibels at Castle Combe on the sound testthe centre resonator works
I also fitted EBC grooved and drilled front discs with 'Red Stuff' pads all around. Need some heat to get thing going but the brakes are a great improvement on original set up.
