Brakes Upgrade

[BenS]

Hold up, fast track? Are you using your car for track only? Because if not, then you should be looking at fast street or street/track crossover only. Track focused pads are meant to be very hot before they work effectively, and if you were to use them for day-to-day driving they would get nowhere near the operating temperature, giving you worse braking performance than a street focused pad.

I had my brake pads updated yesterday
went for black diamond predator pads front and rear and also with braided stainless steel black diamond hoses
The pads need a bit driving to adjust,,,the brake pedal feels softer now I don't know if its because they need some miles to adjust
my other issue was that the rear hoses were too small and wasn't able to fit them,, ds3's oem rear hoses are much bigger than the front ones will contact the dealer on Monday for this
will keep you updated
