Brake Upgrade?

[And]

Looking into an brake upgrade? what do you recomend?

 

[brownale01]

Just fitted the recommended brembo hc's and ds2500, still bedding in but already brilliant, just the slightest touch and i feel like im going through the windscreen haha

 

[fil_b]

agree with the above

get the braded hoes to go with

 

[brownale01]

braided hoes eh haha yer i will get them eventually, apparently makes alot of difference? are just the ktec ones good enough

Braided hoses and some decent Dot 4 brakes fluid first, I flushed the whole system out with new stuff also. That alone made a big difference, then after that i'd go for Brembo HC's and then depending on your driving style and car use choose a set of pads.

Depends what you're going to use the car for. I had Goodbridge braided lines and Castrol Response fluid fitted/added a year ago - immediately noticed better pedal feel (not sure whether mainly down to the lines or the new fluid.) Second trackday took standard front pads and discs from being 50% to 80% worn, but I'd always found them pretty good until then. Went for Pagid Blue's (and Brembo Max) to try and give some longevity. Hopefully they'll hold up to trackdays. But a bit irritating on a day-to-day basis. Don't squeal that much now, but sound of pads running over grooves on the discs is an annoying noise I hadn't anticipated - but great bite. For the couple of trackdays a year I plan doing, probably over the top - but no regrets, very effective, I'll have to see how they last. (And I'm a sucker for the look of the grooved discs )

Tarox G88 grooved discs are really good.

 

[nick.]

Brembo HC disks, DS2500 pads and braided lines with some good dot 4 imo

 

[Ja5on]

discs, carbotech xp8s, braided lines and race brake fluid

 

[And]

On the same subject, does any know the cheapest place for the whole package together? Braided lines, DS2500 and Brembo HC?

I'm thinking of these also, a package available at £250 http://www.northwestperformance.co....ucts_id=182&osCsid=0gemvpjuuk5rosseruj6561c27
Is it best to buy the parts seperately?

 

[And]

As I was looking around I came across these from K-tec? any advice on them?
