Im using the sierra disk setup front and rear. What are peoples opinions of which brake disk/pads combo's to use?
Which makes to choose from?
Which combo's work well and which dont?
Using ie fast road/race disks and pads worth the extra money?

Hi

Use standard non ventilated disks, they won't fade and they're light.

Hawk Plus pads are excellent for both road and light track use.

As already said, use solid discs as they are lighter and don't need so much warming up. Bog standard pads are perfectly ok for a road car and you might experiment with harder compounds (but not too radical) for the track.
