Brakes!

[Matt 16v]

spent much of the day at yozza today finding out that the previous owner of my car didnt really care about his brakes!! :S

had replacement brembo front discs, green stuff pads and some stainless hoses

dont have any pics of all the new stuff, but i do have a pic of my car on the ramp...which isnt very interesting

also had the pleasure of meeting Audrey and her trophy today too

Ah, so its you that she met.

She said she met someone from CS with a silver 172.

[Matt 16v]

What was up with the old brakes?

 

[Matt 16v]

didnt have any material on the pads, and so the discs were wrecked....it sucks, i havent owned the car that long either...god knows what would have happend if i had left it any longer

Oh dear. I've heard thats what happens. Pretty sure my pads are on the way out too

But hey, sounds like you got yourself a nice upgrade! I'm thinking of getting Greenstuff pads as replacements

yeah, I'd get em checked out, u might save ur discs if u catch the pads in time

the green stuffs are cool so far, i'm taking it easy on them atm but i can tell there loads better than the original ones already

Nice to have met you too Matt.
The car must feel very different now!! and slightly safer to say the least.

Have a fab WE in London.
