Which is the best aftermarket disc and pad set up to use for fast road and track use?

I quite like the GTT Spiroslots and am running Stage 1 Kevlar pads:

New GTT 'Spiroslot' Brake discs-Now In + pics

I've had a few problems since install, but these were not installed by GT Tuning themselves. I did an internet order and had a local mechanic put them in for me (GTT is over an 800 mile round trip from me). Unfortunately, that didn't go quite as well as I would have hoped.... but all my problems are down to the installation (and lack of attention to problems that should have been noticed), rather than the product itself. Any product will suffer if installed incorrectly.

I've no doubt that if you get them fitted by GT Tuning then you'll have a smooth trouble-free experience with them.

Once fitted correctly and bedded in, stopping power is phenomenal!

They look pretty cool too.

All the best,
Andrew.

I choose this set up for my last MINI and have to say after bedding in they are pretty good.

I suppose the other option would be the Lohen EBC option. I have not had these myself though so unable to comment.

I fitted the GTT ones myself with troubles at all. Forgot to take them of when I part exchanged my car so some lukcy person is now hooning around the southcoast with them
