Why would they be covering their donkeys, is it because of the cold weather?

More seriously, they don't seem to sell a set of pads for the S2000, or do you just get the EP3/some other versions?

FWIW I can't see any such notice on the Taikyu site for Dixcels.

I belive I got the EP3 ones. But message them and they will confirm.

They are effectively half price of everything else now too..

Not had the S2000 long and it isn't venturing out much at the moment. More likely to see me in a white M4 or a blue i3. I'll keep a look out!

Lovegroova - which version of the pads did you use? Was it Z?

I used both RA and Z versions. The RA are better for track but dust a lot and don't really warm up as quickly on the road (left foot braking whilst driving down my road was a good idea).

Z can be used for both but are not quite as good as the RA for the track. Avoid slotted discs though, as I went through a set of pads very quickly.

I think I've some used sets lying around which you are welcome to have if you are ever passing Rickmansworth.
