Mine didn't make a difference at all, even after bleeding/bedding in. I think it's just my car though as everyone says even the standard brakes are ok, yet mine are the worst I've encountered in any of the 20+ cars I've driven

I would definitely say my G60s are significantly better than the standard brakes, but then the old ones were OEM and the 280s are Mintex.

mine are better than the standard setup but again i am using mintex 1144 pads which are fast road/light track and the genuine g60 discs. if you are doing the upgrade the genuine pads were tested better than most aftermarket brands like ebc greenstuff, ferodo etc. the genuine disc and pad combo is meant to be really good.

Mine are the same. What does the braking system consist of and how would I go about gettin better braking!
