Temporarily installed window box when my wife decided to buy plants on day out in Worcestershire countryside. I’m thinking it looks good enough to become permanent 😎

Thanks for organising Lee See you guys on August 11th next time Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

You'll have to share your trackday videos so we can all learn then

To echo @Lauren's comment, I've had my Reyland AP kit on for two and a half years now and probably done a about 10 track days since and about 25k road miles, without any concerning issues (I've had some debris scratch the disc's and hats & boiled brake fluid - but both will happen with any brake (OEM or BBK) setup). I'm still on my original AP disc's, which have lasted incredibly well, I'm sure if I ran a more aggressive pad compound they'd get used up alot quicker. I also changed my brake pads around 9 months ago, purely to try a slightly different compound to the previous pads, Ferrodo's DS2500 as provided with the kit. The Ferrodo's still have a good amount of meat left on them and I'll be switching back to them in a couple of weeks for several upcoming track days. The Reyland big brake kit has been my joint best mod to the car, with the exhaust manifold being the other.

I've had my AP four pots on with Reyland grooved discs and DS2500 pads on for over a year and a half now. Done nearly 30K miles on them, about five or six track days, about ten sprints. The pads still have a good amount of meat on them and the discs look hardly worn. Amazing really. Feels like they'll last forever, but reckon I'll get another 10K miles out of them pretty easily. I should add though that my pads tend to last a lot longer than average as I am pretty easy on the brakes. Obviously on track I do use them to their full capacity, especially so on sprints where every hundredth of a second counts, so there's no early braking at all. On the road I brake as little as possible, which probably helps me get great mileage out of them. On stock pads and discs I would get around 37K miles out of them.

On related topic I had KSports kit now for over 1.5yrs, 10k road miles, dozen or so track days (plus carlimits, pistonheads at Silverstone and even an action day). Used ECB Yellowstuff pads, now on Bluestuff. After replacing pads before the last track day at Brands ended up with fairly noticeable vibration under heavy braking (particularly into the Paddock Hill bend from 115+ mph). Probably have not bedded pads properly so now a bit of pad material residue on the disks that does not come off (tried couple times on the m-way to re-bed), so the disks need to be skimmed. The disks themselves show decent amount of wear, probably more than I would expect, but then I do overbrake so for others they could last longer. This said I expect they should last at least another year, which would take them to 15+k miles and about 20 track days in total. I had a quick look at price for new 356mm disks - Raylands (J-hook style) would do them for £295, MTEC replacement (grooved) will be £290, KSports original disks from GSM Performance (grooved) £387. I also don't think pads prices are materially different, I have previously confirmed that the pad size is the same as for one of AP calipers and then doing quick google compare it was not that much of a difference. I did like Yellowstuff, although the way I drive they last about 6-7 track days, but they are quiet and very good from cold, not too dusty either. I am yet to form my opinion of Bluestuff but they are certainly better when hot, ok from cold, but dustier, and I expect they would be wearing disks faster as well.
