Have purchased a new set of front discs and was supplied with pads aswell but have also picked up a set of bluespot callipers.. Can I use the std TRX brakepads with the bluespot callipers???

no

I found Ferodo sintered pads and EBC HH sintered pads best for track /fast road with bluespots.

Thanks mate.. Will have to puchase pads to suit then. :wink:

I was using sintered pads in std callipers and was just so much better than the organics fitted originally.(kept squeezin the lever waiting for it to stop) The sintered pads seemed to grab a little if not careful and may chew the discs a bit more but ultimately when you really need it..I felt its a small sacrifice

What type of disc did you get , the bluespots will make a hugh difference to your braking . The more you squeeze the more you stop
