Good stuff re: track time Jack. Brembo upgrade on the cards or just better rotors all 'round as opposed to just the front?

We'll see Craig. I will try more aggressive pads all round, better rotors all round, better fluid and see if that improves it enough. If not then Brembos will be in order. Braking performance was "ok" for the first outing or so, but got progressively worse through the night which had me needing to brake quite early.

Just with some proper track pads will be heaps better than last night, then brembos if still doesn't cut it.

Haven't spent money on the car for a little while so I indulged in a little impulse purchase.

A set of front Brembo calipers are on their way


Will pair them up with some dba 4000 rotors and braided lines. Unsure of what to do with the rears at the moment, might just leave them as is for now and see how this new setup performs.

Good work mate. I wouldn't bother trying to find a street/track pad to use on the street. Just swap them before a track day, the brembo set up is a piece of piss to change pads. Literally a couple of minutes per corner to swap.

My dba-T34000 front rotors are not holding up to the sprint series like I hoped, I will have to go two piece shortly. In case you were tossing up between the two I would go two piece straight away if you can.

If you can secure some brembo rears I would also go that way, you will never be disappointed in the set up.

Enjoy.
