Brakes? Callipers? Pads? Discs?

Pads: Ferodo DS2500 appear to be the favourite. Will be getting some on mine ASAP

I have DS2500 pads from badger bill and got some brembo drilled discs from john at bedrock...... yes I know "drilled discs will crack" , but as yet its a brilliant set up

The best ones are the Badger 5 2 piece discs with either Ferodo DS2500 or DS3000 pads.
It depends on your intended use.
Mine have been on three track days and still going very strong

Weres the best place to get the DS Pads from?? i know there the best after raving reviews on here?? And the EBC Discs! Seen a package on flebay front / rear - discs and pads for about £369!?!?! is that worth it? or are they pulling my pants down?

Another vote for that combo, mine are on a LC but same idea.

People swear by Badger5 on here (see sponsor forums)

Anyone tried the Brembo MAX discs? Anygood?

I had Brembo MAX discs coupled with Pagid Blue pads on my Clio 182 Trophy and they were superb

£369 is a decent price, it will be from CRN. Considering brembo discs are 200 ish and pads are from £98 + brembo race pads are somthing like £189. Amd thats just for the fronts. CRN packages are good.

Another in favour of the two piece set up, miles over OE especially when warm

guys im not really looking to upgrade anything, just simply all my discs need replacing and pads do too, who is the best suplier price wise, cant afford to break the bank but obviously dont want to put cheap **** on. Just a good solid setup to do the job, any links much appreciated please guys....

Braking distance from ~60mph (~100 km/h) to a total stop in a LCR would be in the 33-34m range, with stock brakes.

Most people would be surprised to find out the braking distance in a Lamborghini Gallardo is 35.66 m

Since the stock four/piston system is pretty good by itself, changing the dirty and dusty OEM pads for a strong "fast road" pad like a DS2500 and possibly the disc for a grooved and drilled item should be enough for everyone who doesn't track his or her car.
