What sort of pads are people running on FN2 Type Rs for time attack? I have run Ferodo 2500s and 3000s on Evos and WRXs but just seeing what you guys like here.:)

Anyone on here track their FN2R?
We did a brake and clutch fluid flush and bleed with Castrol SRF fluid today. FYI the bleed nipple for the clutch is on the front of the engine, best accessed from the front. It is just above the engine mount, it took me ages to find it. Just deciding on pads and rotors but it looks like EBC Red stuff pads, DBA 4000s up front and RDA slotted rears (I will see how the RDAs hold up then decide if there should be DBAs on the back too).
Ah much more info thanks.Quote:

Im sure they will tear into the RDA rears but they are cheep and the DBA 4000s up front should be fine. If the rears go too fast we will just get some 4000s for the back too. Looks like 1-2 track days a month and very little driving around in between.
for balanced braking, and as a general rule of thumb, you should upgrade front and rear equally.
way too many people only upgrade front, and yes, it does make a difference.
still tho, depens how often u track. if its' once in a blue moon it's hardly worth getting abrasive/dirty/noisy pads
just swap pads from everyday to performance on track days.Quote:

how do you find the RDA's after a few track days?
