Some Brake Questions!

[Martin_172]

ok guys just had my 36k service, front pads 90% worn, rear disks 100% worn lol not to great!!

so been thinking greenstuff front pads, new standard rear disks and braided lines with a fluid change. had standard front disks put on it before i picked it up when i baught it so they are fine and rear pads were brand new too.

so just need some opinions on what fluid to use (and how much do i need)?

Are braided hoses worth it?

i know some here dont like the green stuff pads but i rate them from my old 1.2, maby not the best pad in the world but low brake dust is great since im a clean freak!!

Castrol super dot 4 response.

Worth it if doing a bleed and want/can afford the extra.

I'd not bother with green stuff.

I know I'm getting boring.

I just don't think green stuff are worth the hastle stock or ds2500;s or if you want better look at different setups.

Deffo go for the castrol super responce, its only a tenner from opie oils with the CS discount and was/is a quite big difference between it and normal dot 4 stuff.

I've got brembo hc discs/greenstuff pads/goodridge lines and can't fault them, definite improvement over standard.

I've heard good things about Brembo max discs and Mintex 1144 pads. Plus i just had these fitted to my cup.
