Have sourced and fitted the above all 2nd hand including 2nd hand discs and pads (still a fair bit of wear left)

I cleaned up the front 4pots and painted them before seal refurbished kit applied. Wish I had don't the pistons too as the one seems to be binding a little.

Questions....

Where could I source the following for a decent price and what would be best pads etc for normal day to day use with occasional hard driving.

1) rear bracket for 2pot rear upgrade
2) new discs all round and size appropriate?
3) what pads as I've read some aren't great
4) pistons for fronts and full refurb kit for rear.
5) do drilled and grooved actually make a huge difference as the 2nd hand set I have are solids.

Cheers

Hi, id try godspeed brakes for any of the stuff ya looking for m8, they do all of what ya after for all types of scoobies and aint silly expensive in my opinion

Have just sent Ian a private message and Yeh his site looks good at reasonable price like you said. Any advise on what pads and would the grooved vented 294mm fronts 294mm rear discs be fine?

I went with the grooved discs and kevlar pads combination for me Hawkeye, i do find the kevlar pads squeal till their warmed up but probably me just been fussy lol also went with braided hoses and all, this set up works for me.

It's all.about costing what I can afford and prioritising I guess for now. As I have the 2nd hand discs and pads I guess I can run with them. Can refurb the pistons in time when I change discs so as not to kill new pads etc with stuck piston. All money lol.

Yeah its easy wanting the bits hey, hard part is finding the money to pay for um lol i ended up getting godspeeds exchange recon calipers front and back, all new pistons and stuff and fresh coat of paint, so like new, end of the day cost me 430 for recon calipers and 235 for discs and pads, so 665 all in and the car stops as it should. To me it was a cheaper option then shelling out 750 plus on 10year old second hand Brembo calipers/discs.

I don't think Ian does drilled discs anymore, just grooved.

I'd give either him or Alyn at AS Performance a ring. Ian is nearer to you.

Will give him a ring as soon as I get a minute and some cash
