Technical What brakes should i fit?

[OzMoSiS]

my whole setup came to around the £450 mark including fitting, and to be honest, i dont think it was worth it. maybe something is wrong, or like i said, i was expecting my face and the windscreen to become one evertime i even thought of touching the pedal :shrug:

the 5.1 fluid did wonders for the clutch though

i may just change the pad's then

still probs get green stuff pads over standard ones.

well if you want to follow PNL's advice, and i think minimad did it too, then go for the red-dot pads.

i was going to, dont know why i didnt :bang:

where can you get red.dot ones from?

I got greenstuff pads for the front, and standard on the back, they're much better than standard, but still fade a bit.

Normal braking is fine, but braking from 80 to 20, the pedal goes funny, but I think this may be due to needing to change my brake fluid. Will be putting some 5.1 in (got loads at work!)

Where is the clutch fluid reservoir btw?

I do recommend the red dot pads they are a good compromise..working from cold and stop you when you want to stop ..I actually did the job on a budget and for a serious set up you wont get better than the galfer big brake set up it comes with all you will need including the brake lines.. they also do a set up to accommodate the wheel size of your car IE 15"/16" and 17" of course there is always a price to pay for such perfection so unless you got over a grand to spend then do it the budget way like us mere mortals do Coyle..

yes but youre not a mere mortal are you PNL,

youre a legend :worship:

It shares the brake reservoir, that's why it's a good idea to bleed the clutch slave cylinder when you bleed the brakes.

I'll get either red.dot or green stuff pad's for the front.
and standards for the rear. then if its worth it i'll change brake fluid and maybe get braided hoses

 

[jostheboss]

changing brake fluid is part of one of the services, so ideal time to change it then....
