discs and pads time!

[gus the bus]

Right, next on the list is a slight upgrade of the brakes. cant afford to go for AP's or anything the noo so was going for discs, pads and braided hoses.

Had a look @ a few options but without going daft was thinking of EBC turbo groove or Ultimax discs, EBC Yellowstuff pads and Goodridge braided hoses. (Group Buy on S:NET the noo for £390.00 delivered)

any thoughts?

Gus, next time round i'll be fitting DS2500 with standard discs along with braided hoses and Dot 5.1.

Couldn't really justify £430 for discs at Godspeed . I'd rather save up for the AP's.

Your car has got 4-pots hasnt it Gus?? If not then I'd be looking into upgrading to a set... I remember the hopes and prayers I said every time I needed to brake in my MY98 UK wagon with 2-pots. lol []

Cheers,

Being a newbie and all.....would fitting braided hoses to start with see an improvement with the braking?

Just got the car so discs/pads etc are ok....but there's nothing like planning ahead!!!  Would probably start with just pads.....seems like the Ferodos are popular?

Richie,

Braided hoses and DOT 5.1 fluid are a good combo if you drive hard. reduce brake fade to an extent.

Iain, their own prices online arent that great[] can actually buy cheaper from elsewhere[]

Let me know what you want and i'll see if i can get a discount on a bigger order.

i recently bought the ebc turbo discs and yellowstuff pads standard size on my03 wrx. noticed a big diference on the run last thu when they got to there working temp, very nice bite. think i need to upgrade to braded hoses and the 5.1 dot fluid though. is it easy to drain the brake fluid? any tips welcome.

ps try larkspeed.co.uk for ur gear, very nice price.

A was doing fine but and would have had it done but the way the guy has set the alarm up meant i would need to cut a wire and then rejoin it and didn`t have any electrical stuff. So left it at that ill stick it on when i get a chance these ten days off Big Baws.

Wee Baws ooot
