New Discs and Pads

Postby brenmyster » Mon Jul 11, 2011 4:51 pm

Hello
I'm looking to upgrade to new disc and pads all round however undecided what to go for. I don't want to change the brembo callipers and therefore don't want to do a conversion i.e AP , Ksport or the like
Just looking for a good all round fast road disc and pad.
Any suggestions would be welcome
Cheers :D

Cheers Rocko...I wanted matching front and back ideally...am I right in thinking performance friction is just for the front ?

Was thinking something like Tarox Sport Japan all round....any good do you know ?

yeah seem good....not really done many miles as have a second car now to keep the miles down on my 1.

Was pleased at bruntingthorpe thou under heavy use.

A little noisy but I guess thats normal with the grooves and drilled holes.

Off to scoobyworld tomoz to have prosport gauges fitted and rolling road to she what she is pushing out !! fingers crossed for 350 bhp!!

I've been looking at these myself, but I've been swayed by the AP floating discs and pads for £530 at RCM... we'll see how much my financial adviser will let me spend after her birthday is out of the way :roll:
