Mini Clubman Brakes

[Deb]

Just picked up a 1979 Mini Clubman. Absolutely love it but the brakes are bad! They take a while after pushing the brake pedal before you think you are actually going to stop! Is this a 'feature'? Any recommendations for making them better?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks R4NDY,

Should have said before that the car already has discs on the front & the calipers have been changed to 4-pots with green stuff pads.

Cheers, Deb.

Thanks for all the replies! Much appreciated! Think we'll get rid of the green stuff and try the uni part pads then.

Stu - didn't expect the superb braking performance of a Mondeo but thought it might brake a bit better than the M100 Elan I used to have
