    Performance Brake Pads for R8

    Hi Guys, I need some performance brake pads for my R8. I have a track day coming up and I want the confidence knowing I won't cook the brakes.

    Anyone know of a brand of pads that suit the R8?

    Thanks.

    if you change the pads ( I am using ferodo racing ) don't forget to change the brake fluid to DOT 4 Racing and the brake tubing to inox otherwise the brakes will overheat in 10min and that's it.

    4-2's are the best road/track pad around. Good choice! Sorry I didn't get back sooner!
