Default My Brembos .... UPDATE !!!!

All fitted , bit the bullet and bled the brakes with the help of my bro (him pumping the brake, me watching for air). All working very well, I would say no stopping me now ....... But that wouldn't be right

I am impressed with the difference that Brembos make over standard + I did go for Brembo 'grooved' discs as well .

Car did have a quick wash, but in the dark, I couldn't get any decent pics (didn't have my tripod ). Will remedy that tomorrow.

A sneak pic for now

You cannot compare them !!!!

A worthwhile upgrade if you were comtemplating it

It has been ages since I had decent brakes on a Scoob ..... The last decent set were a 'Monster 4' setup by Hi-Spec, I had on my Classic, the big + with that kit, if you had 18" alloys, they fitted, the problem with Brembo's (which I found out), you need wheels that clear them, because of the size of the caliper.

The Monster 4's I had, I would say were on a par with the Brembo kit.

ST,

It does need a respray, it doesn't show on the pics, but paint work has lots of swirls (that just wont go !!) , plus, in certain places, the paintwork is starting to look a little 'flat' + dings etc ....... Really does need doing ....... Or at least I keep telling the other half

Maybe they weren't bled properly

I have heard this from different people, they either love them or hate them. But from my experiences, They worked a treat.
