Me and V8cat have already ordered and received them but the discount wasn't that significant (100 GBP) considering how much you end up spending with shipping and taxes.

But the brakes do look amazing and should be fitting them on shortly once I get my PMU club racers.

If you received 100 GBP from discounted price, it means 1400 GBP discount from retail price.

I went ahead with the order because even after postage, taxes and discounts it was still a lot cheaper than sourcing them locally. All depends on exchange rate as well.

Hey mate if possible could PM what you payed in total for the kit

Thanks

A word of warning, those standard issue pads are not very good when pushing the car hard at all. I took my thing up Springwood road, out near Richmond in NSW (basiclaly a 4 km sprint up a hill. 1st and second gear, I may have snatched 3rd once) and you could feel the pads not liking it. Got a tad spongy.

Yeah, I found that too, I still haven't fitted my PMU Club Racers yet.....They should make the car stop on a dime!

I've heard good things about the Pagid pads. Black and yellows or something.

Anyone know if Endless make a pad in their CC-RG compound that will fit. I had those on standard brembo setup and they were nothing short of awesome!

Alcon kits are road legal in UK so they come with ferodo ds performance pads. They are ok for street use but not for track. I found same information in manual included in box with brakes. Yellow pagid RS29 are the best option for alcons imo. They work from cold, don't squeak, and are very "friendly" for discs. RS19 are not available for alcon 6 / 4 pistons. I checked with jdl last month.

RS29 is the "yellow" Pagid Paul that people speak of... Pagid make two "yellow" and the RS-19 is the lower spec of the two :)

Yeah, Jack said he was running these when he used this kit. He was happy with them.

Hence why I'm not even bothering with the DS performance pads and was recommended either club racers or Pagid Rs29.

Have a read, explains some common brand pads for either street or track.

I never ran out of brakes with DS2500 on the street with a 356mm rotor.

Even on a 15min hills run... And I'm not one to take it easy

ahhhh....that only say's your no good at braking!

Grow some hairy ones me thinks!

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
