Theres no way i can stretch out £1800 for a set of brembos though, as nice as they may be. The r8 calipers are 4 pot so should do the job.
question for chungster and 182_blue
what was wrong with the setup on the track, fade, or just not enough stopping power.
Also what is the benefit of two piece discs. is it being lightweight, or cooling quicker??

for me it just didnt stop me in time, and they are easily cooked, theres only one piston on them so i just dont think they are up to alots of abuse

would track spec pads and braided hoses have fixed that maybe.
chungster:
i was running oem pads and fluid. they just get hot, simple. ABS starts to kick in. Pedals goes softer, and it loses the bite you've been getting in first few laps. So you start braking earlier to compensate.
fast road pads / fluid will help, but you can't beat a proper multi piston caliper set up!
2 piece discs aids heat dispersion.
Janner_Sy:
have PMd dave so hopefully will get s few good options back. with two piece discs do you only need to replace the outer discs not the hub when it comes to replacing them.
Janner_Sy:
another question....would removing the dust shield to help cooling be an idea worth looking into, or is it dodgy??
