Technical What brakes should i fit?

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 (y)

i may just change the pad's then (n)

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:
 
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..
