Rear Discs & Pads

[RS Grant]

Ok, picked up the new wagon on Friday and one of the wee jobs that its needing done is some new Rear Discs & Pads. Was just wondering can you run uprated rear brakes with the standard fronts, cause the front brakes seem to be in reasonable condition.

Is there any point in fitting uprated rear discs and pads?? The car will be subjected to fast-road stuff at most, there wont be any track days in it... So if I can get away with fitting pattern discs and subaru pads then i'll probably do that......... what do people on here recommend?? Is there a massive price difference between standard set-up and a decent fast road set-up?? []

The car is a MY99 UK Turbo 5dr.

Cheers,

Grant

Another car Grant?!

I'm no expert but uprating the rear brakes is probably a waste of money unless you are going to drive everywhere flat out in reverse!

As Col said G, I wouldn't bother upgrading rears, just replace them if needed. And if you need a freindly motortrader to get your parts mind and gimme a call.[]

Thanks Mark, I'll have a wee look on there in a bit.. []

Col, yea, another one mate... Picked up a MY99 Wagon in White, totally standard with 29k miles on it... As a runaround for me, the dog and for my old dear in the snow/icey weather when her BM doesnt make it out of the street without the rear trying to overtake the front at every opportunity. [^o)]

Russ, think I'll give you a bell tomorrow.. Would like it looked over and assessed to make sure that everything is tip top with the car. [H]
