Standard brakes 2006.
Discussion
So it's my first Caterham and have a question regarding the brakes!
Are the standard ones fit for purpose in your eyes?
How do you find the bite on them?
My mum had a 1.25 fiesta and the brakes are considerably better than my Caterham.
This is rather worrying as the Caterham has only done 4k so the disks and pads look immaculate, non are stuck on and the car only weights 550kg. I just don't quite like the feel, it's kind of like stamping on the brakes, throw the anker overboard and wait for it to start slowing while you frantically select the gear below to help slow the car down if the brakes don't quite make it in time. I'm no racing driver by any means but they don't instil confidence at all.
I Can't afford a big brake upgrade but wonder if there is maybe a better pad that some
