Just read your posts, saw that you were getting brake fade. I would swap the pads for some other ones, the EBC ones aren't very well rated on this forum. I just plain OEM replacement parts and they haven't faded yet, even on a spirited drive but I've not taken it to a track day yet.

Awesome, thanks for the info! The pads on there have a load of life but I might swap them anyway, the discs were used when I bought them and I think they have been cooked at some point as feel slightly warped.
Especially as it has the blue race fluid I didn't think I would get may fade tbh - will report back :)

So after thinking about some more power and potential for some track days, I decided that the R32 brakes just aren't cutting it for me....
SO I managed to grab a bargain on Ebay:
Tarox B360 10 Pot Calipers with 360mm 2 Piece discs......I have taken them to a local engineering shop who have said that 1 of the seals could do with replacing so I have ordered 20 brand new pistons/seals to refurb the calipers completely, the discss are being skimmed as look like they have taken some abuse from some real hard compound pads (Although no lips on them!)...
Also found out from Tarox that they were used on one of Milteks Race cars :signLOL:
Ohh and removed the rear seats for the time being as I need to give them a serious clean :)
