Brake Set Up on 172 - Rated

[ALY]

I've just run in my High Carbon Brembo OE front discs with the new Mintex Extreme pads on the front and on the back (original rear discs are ok still) and thought I'd feedback that its all looking good.

The pads cost £33 an axle and the discs from Yozza for £60 so bargain. The seatbelt doesn't just dig in now when I brake, it actually hurts too :approve:

I don't use the car on track but it takes some abuse, if they last 2 weeks I'll amend this post but otherwise

put some braided lines on and you'll be headbutting the windscreen in no time!!!!

Braided lines really make that much of a difference? Always wanted a set for no real reason so might order some up

 

[Fred@BTM]

yep, its the thing that makes the most difference

any difference (apart from 6 quid) between the moquip and goodridge lines?

 

[Fred@BTM]

no, you're just paying for the name with goodridge
