IMHO OEM discs are not upto any level of track use, regardless of the pads selected.

What's the story with the 6 pot Porsche units on ECS's website? They're up for less money than the 4's at $1495.

Cheers

So I found out when I was a passenger in your car at Oulton Park...."I think we'll miss that chicane out for the moment" you exclaimed IIRC [img]images/graemlins/1syellow1.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]

Ha ha i'd forgotten about that.

They are Porsche brakes [img]images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

But they fade eventually - at least they do when the discs are getting thin with Porsche OEM pads.

Sorry, got confused there - when you told me the car was abslutely standard except for H&R coilovers I assumed the brakes were as well. Funny at the time tho' [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
