Just wondering what Brake Fluid will you be using?
Anything that's 'dot5' will do. The normal fluid in there is 'dot3' rating if I'm not mistaken. 'dot5' is what everyone who tracks their car is running. I'm not fussed about the brand at all as I can't tell any difference and while I have no problems I'm not fussed. I just let Racebrakes put in whatever they recommend as they know what they're doing.
Also how many track event and DECA have you done since you change your brake pads?
I still got the same pads that I got put in at ~4000km. That means I've done 16,000km on the pads/fluid I have right now. That included 3 Wintons, 3 Sandowns (but one was wet and the other one I only got 6 laps in). And then there's 3 DECAs. So I'd say realy 4 and a 1/2 track-day all up.
Though I don't see DECA days putting any visible wear on them ... my pads are now down to about 5mm thickness and have been like that since the last track-day (ie. Winton we went to together). I've been to DECA 2x since then and they're about the same.
I'm sure that I could make these pads last another 10,000km if I only drove on the road (and DECA) with them. Though, before the next track day I'm replacing all 4 pads and fluid as they are too thin for track-work (ie. lacking in heat absorption).
Is ferodo brake pads very good? Will it eat the Disc brakes? how much is it cost again for you to replace them?
I have Ferodos at the front and Race-brakes comp2 pads at the back. I've been 100% satisfied with this combo and will get exactly the same pads when replaced. My disks don't have any flaws or heat-spots and that is the most important thing to me. That means I don't need to (and never had) the disks machined which wears the disks more then any pads ever could.
Shame you didn't look at my disks last time you saw my car as that would give you an idea of how they trat them. Though, from what I've noticed my disks don't look anymore worn than other Zeds with similar Ks. If you're interested give me a call, we can meet up and you can check for yourslef.
When I had the pads/fluid replaced at Racebrakes it cost around $500 all up. That includes all 4 pads, fluid and labor. I think the Ferodos for the front cost around $220 for the set, while the Racebrake 'comp' pads cost around $160 per set.
ps. The only downside for having more agressive pads in the care is that the brake-application will not feel as 'buttery' as the OEM ones, and also they can squeal when cold, and at very low speed with light brake application. Not a problem for me at all.
Just a thought as well david. Maybe it's a good time to change a Steel braided brake hose while you changing the fluid?
I'm sure it is a good idea. I've never replaced them on any of my cars, but if I had them I'm sure I would not complain. The reason I have never done so myself is because I normaly look at changing things when I'm not happy with them and all of all my cars were great under brakes with the better pads/fluid in them. I felt no need to go any fother.
i don't mind joining in too
