Spitfire Brakes

[mattius]

I've just bought a triumph spitfire 1500, and the first thing i want to do is improve the brakes.
unfortunatly due to just forking out for the car money is a bit tight so im looking for a cheapish
soloution to improve the stock brakes.

sports pads?

chears for the reply guys, well judging by my drive tonight the brakes are horrific, its not just classic brakes, i've driven a classic before.
the pedal is well spongy and there just isn't stopping power there. think a set of steel hoses and new pads are in order for starters. don't particularly want a servo as i quite like the classic brake feel.

think the brakes just need a bit more initial umph.
ordered the brake pads, and hopefully if it ever stops raining here i might get some work done on the car this weekend.

typical as soon as i buy a convertable it rains all day every day.
