Brake Upgrade Recommendations

[kris-182]

I'm looking at upgrading my brakes in the next few weeks. Iv chose the brakes and pads I want after reading other peoples threads and seeing what most people recommend.

Brembo HC Discs (Front) & Ferodo Ds2500 pads

What recommendation I am after is what else is good to upgrade at the same time as the pads and discs?

As Im not clued up on technical jargon, whats the difference in braided brake lines to standard? What advantage do you gain?

Also what would you recommend I do with the rear, just upgrade the pads??

Cheers
Kris

no need for DS2500's unless you're going on track

you have to ask what is the car used for?

just a road car, leave it standard TBH

No point in doing anything to the rears.

I am planning on doing a handful of track days, also planning the Nurburg so would like some decent brakes.
