Question

i currently have 4pots with standard discs and pads and they seem to be plenty powerful enough for my use i.e if i brake hard enough i loose grip and the abs kicks in. so if i get bigger brakes would i see an improvement or not?, or is it better tyres i need!?

asking because my discs are worn out and wondering what to replace them with.

Way you drive, yes

Having cracked the standard discs, TWICE, on my old car, and gone through 3 sets of pads in 20k, i personally dont like the standard ones.

I have since calmed my driving down, but on one rather spirited piece of braking i killed the standard brakes in one go. Had massive brake fade for a couple of days, then they came back to life.

That was pre mega mods too, so prob only running 270ish.

I would definately get some better brakes, plus they will fill the wheels nicely
