Braided lines worth it?

[Deco]

Im after getting drilled and grooved discs and will be getting yellow stuff pads, im just wondering would it be worth my while getting braided lines?

Im heading to nurburgring in june and just want to hear your opinions.

 

[Lottie]

I wouldnt get any of thoses combinations TBH, my advice would be OEM discs, Ferodo DS2500's and braided lines. Also upgraded brake fluid.

 

[Deco]

Ah yes i will be doing the fluid defo.

Yellow stuff no good?

haven't really done much homework on them to be honest,have bought the discs but not the pads

 

[Lottie]

Yellow stuff pads scared me....

Lottie's advice is perfect, thats what I use and its brilliant :smt023

I recommend Motul RBF600 fluid

 

[Deco]

Feroddo's it is then, cheers lads

 

[Deco]

Where did you's buy them lads?

Braided lines and a decent fluid is such a good upgrade, you'll wonder how you managed without!

DS2500 I found cheapest from Stevie @ Eight Speed - www.eightspeed.co.uk

OR, sometimes Matt Lewis Motorsport does them cheap on eBay.

These days, this is cheap for them lol - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FERODO-DS2500...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cb7337f19

Thats grand i was going to pay 120euro for yellow stuff, so not that dearer really.

Great help guys thanks

Spot on advice as usual.

That's the set-up I'm running and it is a dramatic improvement. :smt023

Why did yellow stuff pads scare you? I'm using red stuff and find them amazing.

 

[Loxy]

I think the yellow stuff need some heat in them to start working, so not really ideal for a daily drive.

Lottie will confirm I'm sure.

I have just fitted a set of OE spec Brembo discs with DS2500's and changed the fluid to ATE Superblue. Braking performance is fantastic, highly recommended as above. Good from cold, amang when warmed up.

Exactly right, came to a traffic light and actually couldnt stop.

Be careful with the redstuff as well they have been known to crumble. It was a while ago though so hopefully things have improved.

This.

I have that on my S2000 and the performance at the Ring and Spa earlier this month was fantastic.

Have you tried the DS3000's :twisted:

No I haven't. I take it they are good?

Only reason I went for my EBC disk & pad combo it because it's what I had on my teg so I just stuck with what I knew. :lol:

Honestly try Ferodo next time, ive used them on track now for about 4 years and never had any issues (apart from using crappy Tarox G88 discs)
