Afternoon all.
I've been pushing discs and pads back on my list of things to do up until now.
There not worn to the point of needing immediate attention as i only do about 20 miles a week in the car and would have lasted another year at least doing that mileage.
However my circumstances have changed slightly and I'm shortly going to be starting a daily 70mile commute to work which is mostly B roads with the odd bit of A.
I was going to just order standard size pagid discs and pads for the front and rear and replace like for like and swap the fluid at the same time.
My current fronts are 288mm as I only have the 115bhp engine so I thought while I was at it I'd look into upgrading them as I find them very lacking.
Does anyone have any experience of upgrades they've done? I'm not so good with brakes.
I'm not wanting to go mad and put massive porsche 6 pot brembo's on or anything, just a nice simple effective upgrade.
Ideally I'd like to keep the whole job within £4-500 including swapping the rear discs and pads for standard items.
Thanks in advance. Any advice is massively appreciated.
