Fluid - I'll probably go for 5 or 5.1, I get them mixed up, but whichever the one is that isn't silicon (too damn expensive)
ARE by me or Camberly autofactors or even halfrauds should be fine.. then there's always mail order from raldes etc

Ned, 5.1 is the non-synthetic.
Have a look at this place;
http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk
EBC Greens are £40, whereas the Ferodos are £75!!!!!
No argument I think!

I've used Pagid Fast Road pads for last year (3500mls) they are EXCELLENT.
They dont need much warming up and NO fade (Ive done 3 trackdays with 'em)
Cost...£45
Brake fluid silicon 5.1

I agree with Ned, I have used Mintex 1144's in several cars and found them to be excellent, straight from cold, get even better when hot and
very hard to fade them out,plus not a bad price. EBC green are good but wear out very fast for no more brake effort than other makes, although the
plus side is they damage the disc less than the Mintex 1144's.

DOT 3, 4, 5.1 are all synthetic - glycol esther with borate ester, and are all fully mixable tho it's not recommended that you do mix them just
because of mixing performance levels. DOT 5 is silicone and you should never mix this (or a mineral fluid) with the synthetics. DOT 5.1 is not
necessary, with regard to the wet and dry boiling points, the specs are the same as a super DOT 4.

if you don't fail, you aren't trying hard enough.

Brake Pads
Mintex or Ferodo are my choices.
I have never seen EBC used in a top racing series and that must tell you something.
