You will be fine with these pads and standard calipers. Been to Spa twice with this set up and didn't encounter any issues apart from needing new pads when I got home.

Thanks, I just found that thread myself.\

Don't you have any problems with it and the lowered suspension on your B roads?
Mine is stock but I happened to scrub my frontspoiler twice already(downtown speedbumps)

So far,so good,the spoiler has scrubbed and is nice and strong.so pleased I went this option,for sure a deeper carbon one would be long gone,finishes the bumper off nicely and this one seems very durable and not expensive in comparison to carbon items,ideally,I'll fit coilovers at some point

Edit to add,this splitter is only 10mm(approx) thick and doesn't hang out much either,so can't see it being a problem,looks well engineered and is a nice fit

Me for example
Hi willox, brake upgrade is needed on track to avoid fading and have a stronger and longer braking power.
I have Textar TMD Friction (M Sport pads) and happy with those, except some noise at low speed
See ya the 27th at the MLR Spa so
