Front Pad Upgrade

Guys,

If I upgraded the pads and the discs to these:

- Can I continue to use the standard calipers?

In the next 6 months or so, I plan to upgrade the power with Revo stg2 and fit my ITG panel filter, nothing more.
I'm assume these brakes will be suitable?

I'm wondering if just the front pad upgrade on it's own would be sufficient?

Thanks,
Pete.

Cheers SB, I will do but not looking to purchase yet. I'll PM him anyway as I understand his knowledge of brakes is good.

In the meanwhile, would I have to bin the standard calipers or would the above all fit and be a fair setup for 250*hp on a very good day?

Not sure what remap you have........................... 2505hp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleye: :driver:

The pads Nath is selling will fit straight on, no caliper changes etc.

Give them a go, He thought they were very good on his Ed with 320Hp.

depends alot on your planned usage of the car and your driving 'style'
you going to be doing any track days etc?

the good folks on here, recomended some pagid blue pads to fit the std 312mm discs, which by all accounts are great if you plan to go no further. or Nathans set on here that are also good value  :happy2:

But if you then decided they werent sufficient then its probably not a good investment.
going to R32 fronts (+ optional rears) , then up to proper big brake kits are steps up from that ....

I went for R32 fronts from DaveB on here, which performed faultlessly at Oulton Park.

the solution depends on your requirements :happy2:
