Hello,

I need to refresh all the discs and pads on my newly acquired Trophy. Brembo were recommended.

I saw this complete set on eBay (I tried GSF and euro parts without much luck).

They will work and quite competitively priced.

Quite a few people fit the Brembo high carbon discs to their car. Link below so you can compare sizes to the ebay ones.

I went for the plain ones as they look more OEM -

I've always used Brembo discs, the drilled are a false economy, I'd stick to either the HCs or grooved having tried all 3.

Have you tried Brembo pads?

I went from PBS ProRace pads, which felt great once up to temp, to Brembo 'standard' pads.

I preferred the former, but they were expensive, and more annoyingly they wore down the disc at the same rate as the pads! Lots of dust too.

I'm happy/used to the Brembos for now.

The PBS ProRace sound similar to Ferrodo DS2500 in that they also need some heat to perform (in my experience).

Another vote for the plain Brembo HC discs here, I personally run them with the DS2500 pads up front, standard Brembo pads on the rear - gives me the braking balance and bite I like. I run Brembo pads on our works vehicles and find them fine in that instance.
