Anyone been using this on track?
All the big brake kits sourced outside UK seem extremely expensive from the prices I've been quoted.
Wonder whether paying nearly 2k for a brake kit is worth it over this kit?

Are you a dealer Matt?
I'm at Combe on the 4th for a trackday and provisionally I'm going to run EBC yellow's with Motul RB 600F fluid to tide me over on the stock 312mm set up and report back on here my findings.
I'm also running Intermediate Dunlop D01J's tyres on a completely stock set up except for the map.
I'm interested to see how it copes but I suspect big brakes and some other mods will come in the future. I'm just reluctant to spend thousands on the car after I've just spent a shed load buying it in the first place. I suspect I will only do 2-3 trackdays a year so I'm mindful of not overspending!

Not a dealer mate just know a few people lol but I am running yellow crap pads in mine with race brake fluid and they are shocking as I nearly set mine on fire :scared: there is no feal to them at all they Just are crap, they just bite and then fade very quick and I even complained to ebc saying they are not fit for purpose and they just gave me some bull crap answer. They are coming out very soon and will be going in the bin they are a waste of money

I hate to say it, but I could've told you that before you put them in. I've had previous bad experiences with EBC products, as have other people I have met over the years. I will never use their products again.
