Just bought a set of Reyland 2 Piece Front Discs.

 

Needs some new pads now too.. Car will be used for Fast Road Use - Unlikely on Track. 

 

I’m thinking: DS2500..but heard mixed reviews on them.

 

What about the M1155's? Or what other good options are there?

 

Thanks,

 

MB

Quite a few of us are running Reylands & DS2500s with great success.👍

There have loads in reserve when pushing on a bit.

There fast road/track day pad so will be dusty & as for noise there's a slight whirring when slowing down from speed due to the "J" hooks.

Thb i don't worry about either of the above as i want the stopping power mate.

There fine from cold not what you would expect from a track orientated brake pad mate.

Sounds good then mate - I don't intend to track it, even so do you think this is the best option for Fast Road Use?

I do manly road use with the odd bit of track time & i wouldn't use any other pad for the price on the road.

I've fitted them to RS3Jet 8P with the oem disc & he likes them..... enough said tbh.

If you wanted to meet up you can try them for yourself mate.

I would just add that the DS2500 really need to fit your driving style - if you are saving it for the museum and nanny it about the place they will glaze and squeal like f*ck.  If you drive it like it should be driven (ie like you stole it) they will be fine.

Haha, yes got to have a bit of fun for sure. However I use it as my daily so won't "always" be hooning about.. saying that a fair amount of time I will be  :)

 

Looking at the Tarox Strada pads too.. they seem quite suited to what I need - https://www.awesomeg...rs3-quattro-8p/
