Hi
I know there has been many threads about this before, i have searched through lots of them.
I am doing a track day on 28th nov at brands hatch, my first one! i had my MOT done in July where my back discs and pads were changed and fronts were given an advisory.
I thinking before i use it on a track i better change them...
I have been looking at black diamond discs for the front, my first question is can i leave the back discs standard for now as they are fairly new? or is it best to change all 4 at the same time?
to go with the black diamonds for the front i have been looking at ds2500.
Again can i leave the back pads how they are or do i need to change the whole lot?
Also im not sure where to source these pads from? i cant seem to find them too easily... any ideas?
finally once they are fitted the brake fluid needs changing as it must be quite old! i hav been told to go for ATE blue or Castrol race fluid, any advice here? i know ATE blue is cheaper.
My final question is regarding insurance, my company are not mod friendly at all, is a change of discs and pads considered a mod? everyone has to do it but i know how insurance companies like to wiggle out of things!
Any other advice is welcome
Many thanks
Jonny
