Indeed.

 

If you hadn't put the pics up I was going to ask you to drive at a set of red lights at around 80mph. Jam on with about 20 yards to spare. If you crash then you have J-specs.

Not entirely true, the smaller brakes will stop you.... Once!!

A train on a level crossing will stop you once. What is your point Abz?

 

Point is after you break hard once, don't do it again :D

 

At DB on Saturday I had to use the gears to slow me down are loads of hard break in the heat!!

 

Larger brakes are now on the cards!

I seem to remember Silverhaze having the same problem on the Friday. Ian Ian and I jammed on as the road went from two lanes to one. Luckily Silverhaze went straight down the side of both of us as there was about 20 yards of run off.

What you guys think of Pagid brake pads then? Ive heard they are quite good and seem reasonable in price. Any have good/bad experience with these?

agreed chris wilson or stock for brake pads took me a couple of years to find that out. ebc(stuff) are utter useless compair to cw pads, i did try some halfords ones once and they came straight back off after the first hard brake and then the second had nothing but fade scarey times.
