hengti 2 Posted February 22, 2006 I put Autofive's Tarox/Greenstuff combo on the front of mine - quite cheap at £100ish as I recall Perfectly happy with it - very good brakes once they've got a bit of heat in them and they don't fade too easily SS hoses also a good upgrade - improve pedal feel alot. Word of warning though - make sure you renew the master cylinder if you're fitting ss hoses - the improvement in the system can blow tired mc seals - as I found out the hard way ...

pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted February 23, 2006 For a standard road car the ATE powerdiscs & decent pads will be more than good enough imo. Probably cost about the same price as the above mentioned set-up but might last longer. I've been running both my cars on Powerdiscs & standard pads for the last 18 months with no complaints & they are still going strong. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
