Holy crap those things are dead. You must've been hammering it. Is that normal???
I'd be changing the brake fluid out too.Quote:

ive gone through 2 sets factory pads they were never this bad.... maybe i should go for ds3000 or red stuff..:cool: but atm i think i'll be needing a new clutch soon. pick up is getting quite late:(
I get the feeling that the ABS kills the brakes faster than normal. After my wakefield day my brakes were pretty brutalised, but I don't see the value in keeping the stock rotor size if you plan on further track days.
Maybe a 312 upgrade will give you better results, I found the cost of the rotors / pads to be not too dissimilar so once they're on, assuming brake feel is good, can only be a win...
i agree hence this will be my first upgrade next year (audi tt mk1 brakes all round) hmm maybe i might hold off on tracking the girl till i get my brakes sorted , those pics make me seriously think twice.
removed back seat , some upolstry, spare wheel and jack.
