Brakes - spec me

[Guvna!]

Howdy.

I am pretty sure my brakes are on there way out. They are rather vague so I am looking at upgrading.

I like to go for spirited drives down the local B roads and I am considering getting some track experience when I have sorted my apex springs out.

What do you guys recommend? I don't want to spend crazy money. Looking at a budget of around £200.

Cheers

Loads of threads asking this..........


Brembo HC Discs
Ferrodo DS2500 pads

For the rear too?

Where is best to buy them?

 

[Bazzon]

Standards are fine for Rear, only upgrade fronts.

Agreed with Burp, but get a set of Braided lines and some decent fluid too.

 

[Guvna!]

Any braided lines do or is there a particular brand I should be looking at??

I have Goodridge braided Hoses on ine and they are fine although some people have reported that theirs were too short.....Not heard a bad word about Mocal Lines though.

What about Mintex M1144 as a pad, also a godo choice i believe!

I think the DS2500's are better when pushed. Depends what the OP is planning to do with them. For road use the mintex are lovely. On track they cry enough too early

1144's are fine for road, no good for track

Try Hc disc, 182 ferodo pads and braided hoses, goodridge.
Its a fanastic setup, very impressed and I've come from the ds2500 pads.
