Stopping Power

Hello,

I've got my Bravo 1.8 Calipers and Goodridge hoses waiting to go on the car but was just wondering what discs and pads to go for. There is so much choice and I wanted to know if anyone had any particular good/bad experiences with certain makes?

The car is my daily runner to work but I also want it for fast road use and the odd trackday.

Which brake fluid should I use?

I've been tempted by these brembos which come with discs and pads, any thoughts?

Thanks

DoT4 normal fluid is OK, but DoT5.1 has a slightly higher Boiling Point...so wont fade as easily when you stamp on.

Re: Stopping Power

Dot 4, Dot 5, don't use a synthetic. IIRC, you should be using Punto GT/Bravo 1.8 disks (and 14" wheels).
