Mini_baggs Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 This evening my brakes on my hawkeye got a tad hot, and there's a bit of a lip on the disc's, so it's time for an upgrade to some drilled and slotted. Does anyone have any recommendations for discs and pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayzarh Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 id also consider changing to some racing brake fluid as that makes bags of difference from what i read around, not too sure abouts pads but i hear good things about ferodo ds2500 and also EBC orangestuff.

Phillip1993 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Ebc green that's what iv got and I love them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggyeye Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I also put on steal brakes lines. Also makes a nice difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 All good advice - I would just go for grooved discs and not have the drilled option, there have been examples of the discs cracking. I ran them before and didnt have an issue myself but found the holes clogged up with dust so now just opt for grooves. I have used Black Diamond and Tarox discs previously with no complaints - obviously there are varying costs involved dependant on brand - Alcon etc What is your budget?

JamesJDMwagon Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I opted for the cheep option after I cracked a set of old ebc discs (got too thin) and bought myself some mtec drilled and grooved ones from eBay. Had them six months and I have to say they are great I drive very fast often braking from well over 100mph. I do chew a lot of pads up quickly though 😅. Also I used racing fluids 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quit Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 tahts em, got mine ages ago tho and given them some serious abuse the pads didnt last long tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Yup used mintex pads with tarox grooved discs - great stopping power but pads didnt last long - Ferodo lasted longer with similar results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have blueprint ones they just try and catch fire (smoke bellowing out the arches). I like to change brake pads often so nothing gets a chance to rust up and keeps them wearing level and discs don't get damaged as much. brake pads go hard once they've seen too many heat cycles then they eat your discs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoganS Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I went for Godspeed's j hook discs all round with rc5 front pads and carbon rears. Also fitted hel brake lines and used performance friction fluid. really good setup and no fade on 4 x 20 minute sessions at brands hatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
