godspeed big brake conversion
i'm thinking of purchasing the front 335 kit and have only ever heard good things about them but have a few specific questions...
pad and disk wear rate, i know this is going to be dependant on how hard you drive but would appertained some rough mileages.
are they particularly loud or is that more pad dependant?
many thanks in advance.

I bought my kit about 4 years ago and have been through 3 sets of pads (Mintex and 2x DS2500) and just replaced the discs a few months ago.
I did try some EBC Greens for a few months but binned them as they faded too easily when pressing on.
I probably do 20k miles a year af mostly "swift" motoring on dual carrageway with lots of roundabouts and the occasional back road blast. No track days yet
I have been very happy with them. The pads last and there is quite a range of pads (based on Jag 4 pots) to suit your driving style.
Hope that helps

If you do fit the kit, make sure your existing calipers are in fine order i.e. no sticky pots. It may even be worth getting your calipers serviced (new dust seals and even some pots if they look a bit rusty).
It will save any performance or vibration issues that may be highlighted with a bigger brake conversion.
