Anyone interested in helping me doing a brake upgrade review?
I'm looking to put a data logger into a standard car and measure its braking performance. I have already upgraded my front brakes to Ferodo ds2500 pads and DBA ds4000 discs and there seems to be a big difference in stopping distance and fade rate. So I will data log my car at the same speeds, under the same conditions and post the graphs for comparison.
I'm willing to data log anyones car that has any non-standard braking system for comparison also. I'm hoping to further upgrade my brakes in the not to distant future and I will post the results from brake testing the new system too.
So if anyone around the Leinster area is willing to give me a hand that would be great

You can invite me along. I have fairly fresh ferodo DS2500 all round on the car and newish discs. My car is also a little lighter than stock.
I assume you need somewhere offroad right. If I can find anywhere I'll let you know
