SMiFFAD Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Lots of people have told me they are pap, and untill today i dissagreed, as they seemed to bite harder than my old sx's brakes. Took her out for a blat along a local DC today, and by the time id reach the second round about and come to a hault, all four corners were actually smoking, and my loooooord the smell Conclusive proof, they really dont like being abused, puts pay to me going on track for now, i wouldnt trust them at all. Is there anything i can do to make them a bit better withouth shelling out mega money on new calipers? they alreay have porterfiedl (i think) pads in.

DaveK Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I'm also interested in this, because I have been disappointed in my brakes since buying the car. If I brake HARD then it stops pretty quickly - but it does seem to take way too much pedal pressure. If I need to stop quickly, I seem to need to stamp on the brake pedal a lot more than I expected to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 The solution It's a solution I would actually be happy to take. The only problem is that means I also have to pay for new 17" wheels and I'm less enthusiastic about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMiFFAD Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 The solution Prohibitivly costly for me at the moment I do have UK 17's on my car though, so theyd fit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Would you happen to have all of the above items already in stock for a very good price Gaz? Yep, of course. I'll do a package for £219.75 inc delivery. Thats the SSS pads which I would go for on the J-spec. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
