and some good pads

shameless i know !

I already have Performance Friction 2 piece disks with DS3000 pads Both donnington and silverstone lasted well but that was NA. I just want that bit more to cope with the 75% power gain.

If your capped at around £500, you will be looking out for a set of second hand K-Sport or something. But will struggle to find something that doesnt need replacement pads / rotors for that money.

A 75% power gain does not equate to a 75% speed gain (but I guess everyone knows that already ). It'd be interesting to see how much additional speed you gain at the end of the straights.

Pointless upgrade really. The discs are still the same size diametrically and width. The width is what allows for better heat dissipation, however I am not denying the pads need upgrading, OEM sized ones are just too small for this sort of power.

If you're really on a tight budget, get some Accord type R twin pot calipers and put some ducting in to cool the discs down.

ATR calipers can be had for sub £200. The pads are much bigger, the calipers bolt straight up to S2000 hubs with some minor dust shield trimming.

Pads specs of both

ATR:- 148.6mm length, 57.6mm height 17.8mm thick

EP3/S2000:- 135mm length, 52mm height 17mm thick.

Your being quite troll-like these days LG. Good work keep it up

Based on my observations with MikeFifth last time at Combe, not a lot of top speed difference, just more push to get there. Will let you know again in a couple of weeks.

I hope that didn't come across as troll-like, I'm genuinely interested, someone pasted some vids of Cadwell last year, and it was a good improvement.

I'm not saying its more speed I'm just saying you can't expect your brakes to cope just the same. Interested in the accord type r caliper comment, these fit straight on with no adjustment?!

Those ATR still rely on slider pins, I want to go away from those as they are just a pain in the arse to keep free
