If 17x8 et38, you have to open the fins a little with the rigerJust watched you vid, nice and smooth lap
What size wheel is that you have there ?
17x8 ? Whats the ET ? around 45 ?
Cheers

Brake pads

Ok, so I suppose ET48 on a slightly lowered car should work perfectly with no intervention.If 17x8 et38, you have to open the fins a little with the riger
Was more worried about how the front calliper clears 17 inch wheels
We have got the EBC DP42500R for the i20N, in the coming days we install on the car plus DBA slotted front and rear discs. For the rear pads we will go with the OEM ...
How have you got on with the Carbotech brakes?
I loved mine, along with the Forge braided hoses, however I have just gone back to the standard hoses, as I found the Forge ones didn't fit very well. The rears needed a loose tie wrap to stop them rubbing on the rims in compression and at the front, the short angle of the fitting pressed it against the caliper and split the sleaving.
HOSE
The pads I loved as they also took the softness and free play out of the pedal. Bit was very good, once you got used to the lower brake pressure required, potentially a little grabby, that that is Carbotech. And great on circuit. No fade or even hint of it, but, and it is a big but. They have the potential to make a lot of heat and the calipers don't like it. Well the paint and certainly the dust seals don't like it. So currently I am back to
CALIPERS
Circuit
I am not satisfied by the performance of my i20N standard front brake pads under consequent very close in time hard braking!!!
I feel not enough initial bite, the deceleration feeling in not good for me and I am quite ensure, that the car will slow down adequately up to the turn in point, so I start to brake a lot earlier loosing a lot of time.
My superior experience (on Peugeot 306 Race full GrN and on Honda Type R full GrN and on Renault Clio RS) of Ferodo Racing brake pads like the DS3000 and the (absolutely excellent) Z compound and of Mintex F4R compound and of Carbon Lorraine CL6 (also TOP) which ALL give to the car remarkable deceleration, makes me to feel unsafe with the front brake pads and their performance of my i20N!!!
So, please, share with me your possibly existing experience concerning real racing brake pads for i20N (talking about pads heat resistant above 750 degrees with high and almost steady friction coefficient).
I have found brake pads with interesting specs, like the "Intima RR" and the "Carbotech px10" (high friction coefficient and heat resistance up to 800 degrees), but, up to this time, I have not found a way to purchase any of them.

Could you inform us, where from could we purchase in EU these carbotech brake pads???
Thank you in advance!
I am thinking about the
Ferodo Racing Front Brake Pads - Hyundai i20N ā JXL Performance Ltd
Where must better on my previous cars Focus RS and Lotus Elise
Anyone has experience with these on a I20N ?
Did you get them? Searching by vehicle model on the Ferodo website no pads show upā¦
Do you search by another vehicle with same brake pads size?
So I contacted a provider, the front pad size is the following:
In terms of more track-focused options, apparently Pagid and Endless do not produce anything for the i20N (only i30N/Veloster). EBC RP-X are not available to order at the moment.
Something similar to RP-X and Pagid RSL29, but available for the i20N are the Fritech R60 (size 1370.0P):
According to real world racing experience, the DS2500 can offer not more than 2 "heavy brakes" (let's say from 90 miles/ hour to 30 miles/ hour - or 150 km/hour to 50 km/hour) for a car weighting ~1300 kgr or at the most 3 "heavy brakes" for a car weighting ~1000 kgr in continuously "new corner after cornering" braking!!! (that is meaning: while you have 150 km/h you make a maximum dicelaration brake to 50 km/h and then maximun accelaration to 150 km/h and, then, again a maximum dicelaration brake to 50 km/h) DS2500 pads are just better than possibly bad quality brake pads of the first intallation...
To my oppinion are not recommended at all for highly demanding driving...
I agree @AntonisDragonas, on my previous BRZ I once vitrified a pair of brand new DS2500 after a downhill drive on the Alps. I would not classify them as suitable for the track (as probably the Yellowstuff, which I never tried), that said I am sure they can do a good job for normal driving or not exaggerating in downhill routes. Interested to read @RVDW1 opinion once you get the EBC
The brand new, were surely overglazed as not broke in properly.
In the past I had yellowstuff on an other car, on the same car DS2500. Both I had several times, the yellowstuff were always wooden from the brake feel. As they began to became hot to very hot they worked good till very good, the window of usage was very small! Some degrees more they soon started to fade, so you had to cool down.
The DS2500 also won't work good when cold, but always enough for normal city driving / b roads etc. But they build better deposit surface on the discs, work on from very little warmups in a much wider range up to more heat then the yellowstuff could take. Plus they won't surprise you that much if it's to hot. Plus I find them much better to control.
For the 20N I would buy oem or DS2500 pads!

Brand new as in new tracked or used sportily, they had a couple of weeks of road driving. I donāt remember what I did to brake them inā¦
100-200km decent city & road, then highway by night. Some decent warm up braking, then 5-10 100km/h to 60km/h breaking with approx. 70% braking power before ABS comes in play, after each braking accelerate again to 100. This is the frist time you really build up temperature controlled, then repeat 5-10 times 150 to 100 for example. You feel they get better and better yet rougher, the last few brakings you feel slowly fading of pads you have to quit and not using the brakes anymore for a cooldown of 15-20 kilometers on the highway. You end up with hopefully even complete pad material transfer to your dics. This is how mineral composite pads work best.
I ended up getting the FriTech R60 and will see how they are. They actually did not arrive on time for my first track day which I did with completely stock setup. I have to say I was expecting much worse! They held up very well up to the second run, from the third the front gave up and had to brake very lightly to avoid "hand-brake" effect. Pedal never got really spongy and after about 100km on the road the front felt back to life.
