[Chris Mac]

The car will probably never be on track, and isnt driven overly hard,

does this set up look ok?

Why don't you just got for standard brakes if its not driven particularly hard

This must be the 800th thread on "will these pads/discs work well". Use the search button.

Had a look at these couple of weeks ago, bearings do not come pressed in apparently, but will prob buy a set and fit them before or on the day of my MOT at the end of the month.

Not sure on (and I'm sure someone will kindly correct me) whether its just the Cup or all the RS's that have a poor breaking efficiency so rear brakes are pointless lol

They have great brakes (out brake a f360 when tested by Autocar) but due to the lack of weight over the rear the back brakes don't have to do much work.

 

[mattjk]

hence the rear getting a bit unsteady under heavy breaking lol

spend money on decent stuff, £25 pads on a 170bhp light weight car? asking for trouble IMO

 

[Chris Mac]

what can be recommended then??

really need to be ordering today or tomorrow

 

[Fred@BTM]

Brembo plain HC discs, Brembo DS2500's and lines with some good fluid
