Question

Which way to go?
I'm fitting new brakes and i don't know which way to go either 4 pots with standard discs and pads or keep 2 pots with group N discs and pads with braded hoses and 5.1 dot fluid.

what use are you putting your car to and how hard do you drive - biggest problem with fitting 4pots is lack of pedal feel due to m/cylinder ratio
mail me for specific advice
alyn - as performance

Shiper why not fit the 4 pots with Pagid disc's and pads, it's a well tried and tested set up!!
Trust me you wont regret it,I changed mine about a year ago and have not looked back.

Cool

I have a near brand new set of Group N Pagid 16 groove discs and fast road pads still in the box. I had them on my MY98 2 pot for about 1500 miles of light use if your interested.

Mal K,

Scoobysport do a Grp N+ kit with Pagid front discs, pads and braided hoses - is this the one you have ?
Did it make much difference and why are you getting rid ?

I have a 98 UK Turbo with standard brakes and, for my uses, I have 2 issues - Amount of initial pedal travel and firmness (or lack of) when brakes are actually on
Is the kit any good for this kind of thing ? (Road use only at mo)
TIA
Mark

PS - How difficult would this be to fit? I've changed disks and pipes before, but not on a Scooby - is the system easy to flush and bleed ?
