Good brake set up on a cup

[delboy172]

I need to replace the disc’s and pads all round, and I need some opinions on set ups that you have had experience with. I like the idea of the comp 4-pot kit up front but can’t justify £750. Any help would be appreciated.

Try a disk pad line and fluid upgrade first. ds2500 pads, brembo high carbon disks, 'quip or goodridge hoses and a decent fluid change should work wonders.

Stock isn't bad at all the fluid does neeed bleeding after time but it does anyway.

Look at Yozzasport for a different setup DS2500 are a popualr upgrade but IMO a bit much realy for road use.

Ive got DS2500 pads all round, Brembo H/C front discs, standard rear discks and goodridge lines Excellent IMO, but not tried other set-up than standard but im more than happy.

PM "Ali" he is selling his 4 pot brake kit for 550 IIRC.

Do you get brake squeal at low speeds, as i get this with omp pads that are fitted at the front.

^^^^ yeah but its only when your lightly pressing them, like really lightly in traffic, but it aint too bad? most up-rated pads squeal so im lead to believe?

The ds2500's do squeal. I just got them on my Cup but as above, only under lightly applied braking. I got Black Diamond drilled discs and Goodrich lines with dot5 fluid. They are much better than standard brakes.

OMP pads = dangerously bad

^^^^^
Tell me about it they were fitted when I brought the car, I don’t think they are the right pads because they have worn the discs uneven, the pads actually sit on the out side lip of the disc, as if the pads are to big.
