B1 brakes (the bank)

SBS dual carbons, saves about 30 quid and they're epic!

Hmmm.. rising rate pad.  I think less experienced riders would be better off with a constant rate pad or a low rising rate pad per the following:

SBS Dual Sinter, Brembo Z04, Performance Friction 99 or 13 ... alas if you want a track orientated pad you have to spend the mullah I'm afraid.  Just remember they are the most powerful feature on the bike and th eone most likely to keep you out of the fence ;-)

no doubt, hence rebuilt callipers with new seals, rebuilt master cylinder with new internals, brembo sc pads
but at £107 every few track days if I am just paying for the brembo brand and there is a cheaper alternative that works as well I am willing to change. Good point on rising rate pads though, constant rate would be nicer for the odd wet day. Likewise if I can get an alternative model calliper for a reasonable price and it immediatelydrops pad prices by £30 I can stick with brembo.

So if I read this right, your looking at all this change and unknown to save £30 every 7-8 days ?

Could be worse you could do a £200 set of Z04's in a single day ;-)

no, I'm trying to avoid the unknown by asking around for known alternatives and previous experience before doing anything.

Yes, thankfully I'm relatively shit so costs aren't too bad, but it's not getting any cheaper

If you like what you've got and it works why change it? ??  I'm confused - it maybe my age ;-)

I like everything apart from the price. I'm just exploring options

You my friend have no ROI on this issue lol....
