Hi folks looking for opinions on brakes for my Turbo-Currently using Drilled/Grooved discs/Mintex Pads-Dot 5.1-Goodridge hoses
Looking for a little more bite for trackdays-So do I go for Hi Spec or similar 4 pots or the well used 308mm upgrade? Does the 308mm use standard turbo calipers

I have been looking at brakes recently for myself and there seem to be alot of people rate the red/ green and yellow stuff pads if your not on them already. Are you looking for a larger braking force or a ways of keeping your brakes from cooking on track?

If your wanting more force I would say your going to be better going for the 4 pot option. There is loads on the bay from all sorts of vehicles.
