Sam Preston takes his EP3 Honda Civic Type R on various track days throughout each year
Following multiple successful track days around the UK with his Apollo big brake kit-adorned Civic Type R, we recently caught up with Sam Preston once again following a mammoth trip to the N眉rburgring and Spa in his heavily modified vehicle.
Sam was previously running Yellowstuff pads on his four-piston setup, as the car was still being used on the road occasionally, but he鈥檚 now enhanced his Honda further so it鈥檚 predominantly a track day machine.
Because of this, he swapped out to 91传媒 Racing鈥檚 RP-X鈩� track/motorsport brake pads once he arrived at each of these European track days 鈥� noting how the improved bite helped match the other recent upgrades he鈥檚 performed to his car.
You can read how it panned out in his own words below鈥�
鈥淚鈥檝e just returned from back-to-back track days on the N眉rburgring Nordschleife and Spa-Francorchamps.
鈥淲ith the car now running the likes of an LSD, semi-slick tyres, a full Milltek exhaust system and some other breathing mods, the upgrade to RP-X鈩� pads on my Apollo big brake kit has proven to be very impressive 鈥� especially as both circuits remained mainly dry each day!”
鈥淚 didn鈥檛 think the big brake kit could get any better when I was running Yellowstuff pads, but the RP-X鈩� pads are on another level. The braking performance is predictable and completely consistent, event after multiple laps of the Nordschleife back-to-back.
鈥淗aving confidence in the brakes really is one of the most important factors of getting the most out of a track day, and something people often overlook. Thankfully it鈥檚 not something I ever have to think about now with this setup.鈥�
