Not sure where i copied this from...the front discs are slotted and drilled using yellow pads same on the rear, if an upgrade is deemed appropriate i will fit a complete system simply bunging on large discs and four or more pot callipers is to say the least pointless, firstly it unbalances the front to rear braking efficiency secondly using a larger capacity calliper on the original master cylinder means a lot more pedal movement is required to shift the pistons the same amount, what is required is a more powerful servo pushing a larger bore master cylinder then you can uprate the disc and calliper size on both front and rear thus maintaining the status quo.

Have you changed the Master cylinder and servo ?

That depends on the cross sectional area of the pistons , not how many pistons, a larger disc and caliper will have more thermal capacity though.

And the first error that guy made was choice of pad!
