172 cup break upgrade

[awebb]

my pads are like new and my discs dont seem to have that much wear but they seem to fade out quite quick, would i be best to upgrade pads or discs, or both? or even the calipers as well, if so whats the best pads/discs to get, i need some thing thats good for round town and also fast driving, track days country roads etc, any help would be great, thanks.

check out Yozzasport site, i think they sell a real nice set of discs (Brembo) in combo with EBC green stuff or DS 2500 Ferodo pads.
You will not need to upgrade anything else, this will stop you rapidly

We can also help on the Brembo discs with Ebc etc

thanks

Dont upgrade the discs.

If fade is the only issue just fit some EBC yellows or another decent pad. Mintex 1155 or some ferodo DS2500's

My standard brakes would fade very easily just on my commute to work. I have fitted yellows and the brakes never fade and there is improved bite when hot.

Fluid? When mineral oils get old they absorb water, which evaporates when it gets hot and hence goes a bit spongy?

i think the fluid is ok,do the yellow pads squeel at slower speeds?

What do you mean by the fade you have to use more pedal or the more pedal you use they dont do any more?

Best idea is to bleed the brakes.

by fade i mean it was taking much longer to stop with the same amount of pedal

Bleed the brakes realy thats the biggest problem usually then look at the pads see fi there cracked or damaged.
