It's ridiculous. I bought this kit because I knew (thought) that they would deal with anything I threw at them, and some. Bit disappointed in the pads. The brakes stop on a 6pence so they do work very effectively. Mike is right I suspect, wrong pad choice.

Potentially you could run the same discs. I would take them off to make sure that they are not buckled and caked in resin. As you over heated your pads they may have warped the disc and then they have pretty much had it...

They wont have warped... 2 piece discs. Jay is on single piece discs, so as we have the exact same issue I'm 10000000% sure it defo the pads/pad deposit.

I know we're talking about a different pad compared to the Pagids I had but moving to a Carbotech equivalent has solved my issues. They appear to be a very good quality pad.
Jim at JKM recommended them to me based on his and some other customer feedback. They ordered and fitted mine. Although mine were made to order they arrived in under 2 weeks.

You using the xp10 pad?

I am, yes. I could have also chosen XP8 but 10's suit the vehicle weight better.

Nice one, I'll give these a go, XP10 are just under £200 for the TTRS caliper.
Any of the lads with the problem pagids , I'll be happy to give these ago on my car on track to see if they cause the same problem .

Short answer:- £50 pagids from ECP.
i was after trying them first before I try a dedicated track pad, it would be nice to have an opinion on different pads/brands and thought the £50 pagids would be good for daily duties and a base line to compare any others against . Iv only had the brakes on the car since October so they've not been used in anger as yet
