Question

Hi folks,

I've got myself a set of 4 pots/pads/discs to upgrade my MY98 and will be fitting them after I get the braided hoses (which I hope will fit! ).

Just wondering if the brake support bracket is another worthwhile improvement for road use? Does it really make much difference?

Your comments, thoughts or suggestions welcomed.

Cheers,
Steve

P.S. fingers crossed - 1st MOT tomorrow.

Question

Spider,

I was thinking about getting one too, but I'd heard others say it just transfers the movement elsewhere, and doesn't really help?
So now I don't know what to do!

It made a lot of difference to the feel of the brake pedal on my 95WRX, much firmer. I fitted it and ran for a while to see the difference before fitting the braided hoses and 4 pots, I was certainly impressed at the improvement.

Cheers guys - appreciate your input.

Stef, if it's good enough for CK1, it's got to be good enough for my humble masheen!

Thanks again,
Steve
