Re: Review of Performance Friction pads (with Telemetry)

They certainly will improve it for road use.

The only issue I can think of is whether your discs would warp for very heavy use. For fast road use I would suspect the discs would cope just fine and your emergency stopping power would be much improved.

Would worry about some warpage for track use, given I warped two sets of oem discs with the standard 305mm pads on track before I upgraded.
It all depends on whether it was the poor oem pads fault or the discs fault

Autodelta do sell heat treated cross drilled 305mm discs should the worst happen, I'm sure there are lots of others to chose from too.

Cheers,
TB
