i'm going from from 28th April - 2nd May to Nurburgring with my friends. That is the ultimate track test for the brakes.
MAT what do you think, after some laps with the DS3000 pads i will have to change the discs? Some people say that i have to change them because the DS3000 pads does some powerfull braking

ps: sorry for bad english

today i went to mount the brakes, but after i put only a disc and a caliper i've observed that there is no centering hub (hope is correct) left to where i can center the wheels. I've ordered a custom piece and hope that tomorrow i can finish with this.
