aye brembo......but stay away from the shitty grooved or drilled items..........seem to warp/crack a hell of a lot sooner than a disc shud last...in my experience anyway.

not sure jon....still not tested mine.

standard disks and pads are great on the cup car - its the cooling that keeps them working when being pushed !

iv always found the discs fine tbh......but the pads have always let me down.....even with the extra cooling fins of the valverand the blanks next to the fogs piped up.

no such problems with the ferodos tho..........they just kept doin their stuff very well lap after lap after lap.......and the braking is sooo much better than the cheapy pads its unreal....altho pedal travel has changed quite a bit lol.
