Come on folks. Let’s get Slonik paid so he can move forward. I want my calipers sooner than later. I have both fronts and rears paid for now.

Do we have to wait for everyone to pay before we get our parts? I didn't realize that. Please clarify!

Just trying to decide on pads and then payment ready to go.

I'm also just waiting on pad options. Slonik, can you confirm? For the front full brake kit with 380mm rotors, I just need search for brake pads from a 2010 Nissan GTR? What vehicle would I search for if we purchased your full rear brake kit using 380mm and/or 360mm rotors?

I'm leaning towards the Hawk HPS High Performance Street Ferro-Carbon Disc Brake Pads.

I've sent slonik pm, waiting on reply

Seems like the size he posted before was for a Land Rover with brembo brakes according to Ferrodo part numbers, then for Pagid, it's for Ferrari Enzo and F430 brakes.

Let's wait for him to clarify.

This is what I figured out when Slonik sent me a separate PM for std E9x rotors:

Search for fronts pads for 2015 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Front Pads
Search for rear pads for 2011 Chevy Camaro SS Front pads

Key is both are Front Pads.


For the F80 rotors:
Search front pads for 2002 Ferrari Enzo front pads
Search rear pads?..

These fronts are not very common and there are not very many options for track appropriate pads that I found. Maybe some Pagid RS-29 is about it but I could only find them from European dealers. The main Pagid site only shows ceramic brakes.

I wish there were better options with the F80 rotors for the track.

Paid!

For 380mm F8x rotors, going off the recommended Ferodo FCP4379H and Hawk HB685 applications list:

LAND ROVER 06-15 Range Rover HSE & Sport Supercharged (with brembo brakes)

Leads me to believe this brembo pad fits:

https://www.bremboparts.com/asiapacific/en/catalogue/pad/P44023N

The confusion and uncertainty comes with the term pad height. We need a pad height of 76mm. This 76mm pad height is pad MATERIAL height, some manufacturers only post the total height of brake pad (including metal backing) which is in the 96mm range. Those "96mm" pads could work, we just don't know what the pad MATERIAL height is.

Here is the best place to search as Pagid has graphics of their pads

Ok. Just paid for mine. Very excited to get this!

Let's get him paid so we can get our brakes!

I have sent Slonik PM for payment. So just to confirm a few things.

1) If I go F8x front rotor, and this is mainly my daily but will see a few track sessions a year. Want low noise and dust. Is the Feroddo DS2500 FCP4379H the best option?

2) What is the cheapest option for the rears? Will the rear F8x caliper fit the stock rear rotor or will I need the F8x rotor. DR-JEKL and Aussies where did you source your rear calipers can you send me details and $$ please?

3) Slonik you mentioned in Russia the F8x front rotors are cheap can you provide a price for them?

4) Can anyone help with colour? I'm looking for the colour like the Stoptech trophy or Brembo alloy anodized. I was thinking the BMW Space grey might be close?






Thanks

Are any of you guys running the F8X rotors with the 6 pots?

What pads have you use?

Slonik recommended:

Ferodo FCP4379H

Hawk HB685 (PC - performance ceramic)

(76mm height pads to use with 380 oem rotors)

I've spent more time that I'd like to admit researching pads... Here is a cross reference list of pad sizes for 6p caliper with F8x 380mm rotors. Obviously don't use cheap pads, which is majority of the brands listed here, but thought I'd include them in this list to make it comprehensive.

Please still double check the pad application before ordering, I'm not responsible if it doesn't fit.

I ended up buying the Ferrodo DS2500's for my 6 pots and F8X 380mm rotors:

These are the best dual purpose pads I could find TBH, still perfectly streetable and will handle mild track use (depending on the track and your level of driving)

2) What is the cheapest option for the rears? Will the rear F8x caliper fit the stock rear rotor or will I need the F8x rotor. DR-JEKL and Aussies where did you source your rear calipers can you send me details and $$ please?

Slonik's rear brembo calipers are great, but the F8X ///M rear calipers are quite a fair chunk cheaper. I got mine off a new M2 as the owner had upgraded for a AP radi cal BBK F&R. You'll just have to scour the used market for them

3) Slonik you mentioned in Russia the F8x front rotors are cheap can you provide a price for them?

I know a guy who can get these for around $800 AUD for zimmerman's new shipped

Hey Slon. I PM'd you. Please get back with me.

For those of you with the 6p front and F8x rear caliper, what did you do with the brake wear sensors?

Assuming fronts don't fit and rear uses stock F8x pad wear sensor? Want to purchase everything I need to do this install in one shot.

If you track your car I recommend to just use a zip tie to get them out of the way and never worry about that again. Just look at the pads and see if they need replacing. I haven’t had wear sensors hooked up in years.

not ready to buy now but definitely in the plans for my car (just acquired). hopefully you keep producing these!

Save money by buying now.

If someone drops off the list... I guess I'm in lol!
