Plenty good enough for fast road use even with stock pads
PM me if your interested
Cheers Buddy

I agree. :happy2:
You can offset the weight with S3 hubs and arms if you so desire but the brakes and plenty good enough for fast road. :smiley:

I found the Tarox Strada to be worse than stock. According to the Tarox customer services they use the Ferrodo brake pad compounds.
Tarox Strada = attempt at OEM equivalent.
Tarox corsa = Ferrodo DS2500
Tarox track = Ferrodo DS3000
Ive got the Corsa's on my bbk and they were pretty good although started to fade slightly after about 5 or 6 laps of silverstone.

Strange, mine have been quite good, but are now coming to the end of their life, wouldn't mind trying something else.
Are the Tarox Corsa / Ferodo DS2500 street legal? Also do they require heating up?
I had a set of Red stuff pads on my last car, and they were terrible without some heat in them... excellent fade resisitance though.

DS2500/Corsas work fine from cold and are street legal as far as im aware.
