I am on my 4th set of EBC Yellowstuff and have the 5th set waiting in the boot. Would recommend them....... Sent from my ASUS_A001 using Tapatalk

Had a lovely time at Wadebridge Wheels in Cornwall Here's some pics, including a weird JDM Nissan van... thing. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

Hi Everyone Here are my photo's from Japfest Donington on Saturday 13th July. (For those not on the Facebook group) I think I got everyone's car, if I missed you out sorry. Thanks for looking Will

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 😎

Verus tested that one

It was taxed for 12 months by the dealer when I bought it and I had thought it would stay with car. Looks like that's not the case though. Thanks for prompting me to double check.

Worth always specifying also _which_ exactly pads. Most vendors have many pads covering most niches, from street to hardcore motorsport use. Comparing by generic brand name will just make apples to oranges comparison. For example Ferrodo has also real track pads like Dsuno, Ds1.11, Ds3.12. It also has also oem-ish, completely non-tracking even least stuff. For example, here chart of some hawk pads. I'm sure that different PFC pads are, well, different enough too, and thus one should always tell which.

Best thing to do is remove your plate and measure where your screws are, some people just self tap screw through the plate into the boot lid so not everyone could have screws in the same place. Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

You don’t need a letter, I didn’t have one. Just ring your local Toyota dealership and tell them your registration and they’ll tell you over the phone that you’re eligible or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

These are not exactly performance (if under that term you think - "track") pads, more of oem+. As in they are obviously better then stock on track (rather easy to overheat/glaze), but i'd still keep track sessions to eg. 15min. And also change brake fluid to higher temp one. Then again most "real" track oriented pads are close to unusable for daily driving unlike these. As most track pads working temp range is much higher, they often have less brake friction when cold until heated up, and also with light braking that is more common in daily driving, bedded layer with track pads soon scrubs off rotors .. and one becomes idiot with loud squealing brakes each time one brakes. Yes, one can again go outside city and do several acceleration/heavy braking cycles to rebed brakes for few days, as bedded rotors with transferred layer from heated pads onto rotor should quieten most brakes, but it's PITA. Best choice possible is to have two specialized pads sets for both daily driving & track and switch prior/post track day, but well, if one decides against such and uses one set all the time, of course there will be some compromises/limitations to keep in mind. I tracked on DS2500, and for those 15min they mostly held up fine (on a bit grippier tires then primacies, eg. 215 to 225 wide PSS/PS4), rather consistent brake feel from cold to hot, it's when i kept driving more to 20min i start feeling fade. But as after 15min i also started to loose concentration and wear down myself, see no biggie in driving off for cigarette, coffee .. and brake cooling at that time :).

No coating will help if one uses brakes as they should, especially if tracking car. Though that is good too from other POV, rust on rotors doesn't matter too, as few hard braking will clean it off via abrazing as it will coating. I just wrote off non-dusting as "nice to have" but of less importance among miscellaneous pad properties. To me most important bits are for main function, braking that is, working reliably well wherever i use those pads (and if it's hybrid pads we are talking about, - then both for daily driving and track), and for them to not squeal loud. Later would annoy me much more then dusting, if i had to suffer that at each traffic light stop. Availability, price, not too aggressive to rotors, and for dust to not be chemically agressive to wheels also would matter to me more then dust itself. So by my priorities DS2500 did well, and i could live with worse dusting.
