Anyone upgraded there discs + pads?

Post by Motoract »

Mine are on there way out.

Was wondering if anyone could recommend any?

I'm after better stopping power and little / no break dust as it does my head in.

found these:

have a friend who has them on a 206 and rates them...

and some EBC green stuff pads. - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 2837wt_911

what's everyone's thoughts?

cheers

I've heard that drilled discs can destroy pads, not sure on that rumour though.

You'll never get rid of dust. All these claims by manufacturers are tosh - if there was no brake dust there would be no wear on any of the pads or discs and therefore in theory there would actually be no braking power if nothing was being worn out!

You would want to consider flushing your fluid to get a decent benefit, then maybe some fast road pads and discs.

So long as you buy the same set eg brembo n brembo then they last just as long really
