- brake discs ebc seat leon cupra r
The traffic isn't going to be accelerating at anywhere near the capabilities of a hot leon though, thus the brakes aren't going to be...
It really doesn't matter though. I'm sorry for starting the argument
Now if you clever chaps could help me diagnose the creaking noise coming from my car on one of the lower down threads, what would be great! :0

Thanks for your advice guys - think I'll go and raid our stores for some spare countersunk bolts just in case. Does anyone know if they a standard M6 or 8 thread... or fine thread ?
Thanks !

Back on topic I'm running EBC discs with Yellow Stuff pads as my car get used on track quite a bit
Just over 1000 miles so far including all day at Bedford Autodrome a few weeks back
On track I nearly wet myself in the first couple of sessions as they didn't stop that well, but after that they got some proper heat into them and were probably bedded in a bit better and they were great for the rest of the day and gave me a lot more confidence
On road I have the noise issue (didn't realise this was the grooves) but they stop pretty well so overall, I recommned 'em

I had DS2500's and your elyptical grooved discs before but wanted to try something different this time. Had no complaints with previous set up. Lasted 4track days which was pretty good really.
What are the PF01's you mention?

So you just have noise no movement in the brake pedal as you apply it?
Mine moves up & down under my foot with a loud dronning sound and they do not perform at all even after an hours journey.
Anyways ill see what this new set are like that they are sending me!
lol i noticed that! thought it was funny when i read this last night.
you want me to send you back an empty box?? lol
Pedel feel is fine and no judder through wheel either so must just be grooves causing the noise when braking, more noise when pushed hard it seems
PF01's are Performance Friction Carbon Mettalic pads. Awesome stopping from them, but dusty.
noise is grooves/dimples and air passing by... when warm/hot they rumble, same as other grooved disks do.
normal.

they're classed as race pads, and are not regulation 90 approved no...
they work better than 15% over Oe pads so are over qualified, exceeding the spec.
In real world use, they out perform std pads by miles as confirmed by many many happy customers.

I ran them on my old LCR and stupidly fitted them only the day before the SCn Donnington track day.
Firstly the stopping power is way superior to the DS2500 pad, both in bite, pedal feel and fade.
My issue was that on track they ran my OEM disks very hot and they warped my disks and gave me lots of judder, the disks went back 100% after they cooled and were fine. Think they also boiled the fluid.........however this was track use. Uprated Motul fluid would have been a major advantage.
Road use I never got close to the way they were on track and the pads are simply awesome. They DO NOT score or wear the disks etc and they lasted ages.
Dust is bad with these pads.
Anyone who fancies trying a set I have a 50% worn front set I'll sell for £40 INCL P&P............these are £130-£150 new

.....shame they're illegal to fit for road use to any car that's been through European Type Approval then. Can you get the D2000s for the LCR, on the basis they should be approved
I guess the EBC pads are all non-approved also?
If nothing's available I might try the EBC disc and OE pad option.

Out of interest who would check? not even and isurance assesor would check (they may check depth of 'meat' on the pad but nowt else)

The issue for me is I work for the Department for Transport and am not prepared to do stuff to my cars that makes them non compliant, irrespective of the chances of getting found out.
It strikes me that brake component manufacturers who can't be bothered to get an approval (it's a standard component test) are more concerned with their bottom line and avoiding liability simply by putting an exclusion on road use on the packet.
Some Member States are keen to stamp down on this practice, notably Germany, so the current requirements may be tightened up. Be interesting to see if Ferodo et al are prepared to gain component approvals then....
