Hey everyone, i thought this might make for some interesting reading for you guys.

The test was conducted by the MLR club and was part of there quest to test the best products avilable for their EVO 9 project car.

The test was carried out at Bruntingthorpe and consisted of 3 100-0mph stops per lap, in "x"amount lap stints.
So 1st off, 3 lap stint consisting of 3 stops from 100-0mph per lap, then into the pits for 5 mins to check pressures, temps etc...then back out for 4 laps consisting 3 100-0mph stops per lap, again back into the pits for 5 mins....then back out for a final 5 laps with 3 100-0mph stops per lap.

The whole test consisted of 36 grueling 100-0mph stops.

We recorded consistent times every single run of 100-0mph in 3.2 secs, and stopping distance of 270-275 feet.
Compared it back to a test that involved the AP Racing and Alcon big brake kits in their previous issue, which recorde average stopping times of 4.2 secs and 330 feet distances.....we were pretty happy with the outcome.

superb review Dan but exactly as I had put here

... they work and turn the OE brembos into a good workable solution to stopping quickly and consistently.

I wont be changing my PF discs/pads to a big brake kit any time soon :thumb:

nice work, exactly why we are increasing our involvement with PF products and finalising a "stockist" set-up.................................

My PF pads seem to be lasting very well - at what level would you recommend changing them?

Roughly how much pad material is left Duncan?
