I'm using MTEC brakes from U.K..they're pretty value for $$$ in my opinion.. Bites better than stock brakes with Mintex pads

Awsum. Did u do front and back? Do u mind me asking how much it cost?

Front only. R2730

I went for the EBC Turbogrooves + greenstuff all round on my 1.9 150. They definitely made a huge difference, but it could have simply been that the standard pads were rubbish!

Partly it was down to looks, but I've had EBC TG on several difference cars and always done the job. Never had a problem with squeal on the Bravo either - I believe the cure is alot of copper grease when fitting.

The main purpose of the grooves / dimples is to disperse gases, help keep the discs cool and to help prevent glazing. Ultimately though its the pads that physically stop you!

This is true.

i think i'll join you in this route.

standard brakes are flippin crap

I am still taking it chill so have not braked from high speed but thusfar brakes are very responsive and i can feel the difference immediately. Cant wait for the 300km suggested city driving to be complete before i can start testing the crap out of them. Will give feedback when this test is done on how they perform.

we added opel tS powerbrakes to a friend of mine's corsa, and another friend's S2000 so i know how hard they stop.

turns out Sandown motors were talking crap, im on 36500 and my brakes are still fine according to Ferobrake

Update....

I have done a couple of thousand km and no problems what so ever. Brakes works great and no noise or shudders. Happy happy
