This type of pad also works well in auto-x type environments if that's something you do. Alternatively, you could go aggro and run a full-race pad like a Hawk DTC-70/60 or EBC Bluestuff NDX or Orangestuff and live with the poor low temperature performance that typically comes with the elevated high-temp capabilities to varying degrees depending on the compound.
Regardless of the pad compound, the bigger the rotor the better within reason. Giving your application, I'd suggest C6 components over C5 or LS1 as they'll provide more rigid calipers and more thermal mass.

Hi and thanks for the reply .
i have started to fit a front spoiler with cooling ducts as the hubs get so hot that the grease smokes and i have already ruined one set of front bearings . I planned to fit the 325mm front discs and have the parts to go 305mm on the rear . I didn,t realise what you did till i looked at the KORE3 site and that i could fit the bigger ZO6 discs , oh well i know now . I liked the ali front hubs and the caliper brackets , it would be easier for me to just get some new parts instead of machining my own . Thanks Pete
