How did they hold up

Dunc/Sita,

How did the big reds hold out at Donny ? much brake fade if any ?

Sorry to hear about your coil pack Sita.

Graham, brakes were superb and I should have plumped up the dough the first time around and done things proper.

Absolutely no brake fade at all and i'd say I definitely worked them a lot harder at Donny this time due to the opening up of the GP circuit.

Even better - no warped discs - my car got a hammering tonight around our local lanes to test the new coilpacks (or introduce them gently to the car [img]images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]!! ) and the brakes are still as good as b4 the track day.

Cheers.

Have to say a very good showing from our S3 members [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

good driving all round and very hard to catch/lose [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Only remember following Dunc when we were doing some data logging, and at the end of the Dunlop Straight his rear end was fishtailing quite a bit - but hey excellant driving mate. Get this on the Rs as the brake bias is too much towards the front [img]images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
