Which pads and discs would people recommend?
On 17" alloys.
No trackday use, just general driving...sometimes spirited evil


Thanks.

Mine has a front Willwood Upgrade, with std set up on the back . Was fitted ( by Steve Heath ) before i got it. Wasnt impreesed untill i discovered the Inner pistons had seized due to it haveing been garaged for 3 years.

Now stops farly well, but not as good as i would have expected.

What is the rear upgrade ?

Just pads and discs or a caliper upgrade too?

Open to the possibility of calliper upgrades as well.
They don't need done urgently so time to save some pennies if I need to.

the willwoood front brake upgrade from rally design is a blinder of a kit. very easy to fit - takes a morning and once the pads have bedded in it really stops. On my data logger the griff now stops faster from 100 than my cerb did and that had the upgraded AP race brakes so well worth the £1k. NB make sure you buy new hoses - they need the swivel enad at the caliper and remember that the caliper end is american size not european - cos wilwood are youve guessed american. It is perfectly balanced with the original rears as well so no changes needed to those - just braided hoses to keep the pressure in the right place. HTH
