Hi all

 

I try new brake discs and pads for my VX220 (For Used Road and Track Day)

 

The new composition of my brake system is: Front AP Racing Caliper 2 Pot -Disc brake 308mm (Vauxhall Astra OPC)

-Spacer Rear

-AP Racing Caliper 2 Pot with spacer -Disc brake 288mm

 

For Disc Brake,

-EBC Ultimax

-EBC Blade

 

For Pads:

1° Configuration

Front Mintex M1155 / Rear Mintex M1144

 

2° Configuration

Front/Rear Brembo HP2000

 

3°Configuration

Front CL RC6 / Rear CL RC5

 

what do you think?

2 pot front & rear???

the brake pad will overlap the outside edge of the 308mm discs (plus they weigh a sh*t load.... nearly double that of the 288's) so you wont get the full use of the pad. Also imho it made next to sod all difference in the braking anyway.

 

4th config.

standard 288mm discs front and rear, Performance Friction Braking 97 spec (or 01) pads. Done. Face on windscreen

Getting new discs and pads fitted tomorrow

 

What breaking in what do you guys do? Im running Mintex 1144

In the past with brembo I have done the recommended 

50mph-5mph hard break, then

60mph-5mph hard break, then 

70mph-5mph hard break 

 

all in one go to keep the heat high

 

to burn the layer off the discs and help settle the pads

You need to be more gentil with new discs.

 

ligh braking first to warm them up evenly then do the hard stuff.
