I've just bought some new pagid discs and ebc greenstuff pads, will post pictures when I get them. Next thing on order will be some toyo tyres. smile
Does it feel under braked ? I'd just buy an upgrade car mate.

Green stuffs I found arn't very good, However yellow stuff are a good pad for the money.

Well they need to be changed anyway as they are a bit worn out and my mum said she would pay so I thought I'd chuck on some slightly better pads. I'm not doing anything else to the car until its gone next year.

The C2 brakes were fking brilliant, imo.. Though mine was VTR so probably bigger I'd imagine, and discs all round.

Until I put Axxis on the MX5, then I knew what fking brilliant braking was hehe

You still dont brake late enough Jonny.

JAmes - what you doing about the keying? Scumbags.

Well not much apart from just having to try and polish it out, jack I have looked at an mx5 but I have decided against it as I really need back seats and a boot.

Just got my new discs this morning, just waiting for my pads now. smile





They look a little boring compared to say big brembos but will still get the job done.

How much did the little brake upgrade/overhaul cost in the end ?
