Brakes on 99 uk classic
The 4 pots on my car are ok but i feel they could do with some more bite. I am thinking that a disc and pad change and braided hoses might help. Any views on what are good , and also planing a brake fluid change. Should i keep dot 4 or upgrade to dot 5. Thanks

dot5 is a silicone based fluid more suited to classic cars, long-life military applications, etc.........
IMO it is NOT suited to road or arduous use

Ok many thanks, dot 5.1 it is then. Has anyone got good gains from uprated standard discs and pads, or is the big brake setup so much better.

Just looking for the best road combination, just feel the brakes is the weakest link at moment. My car is only used on the road but i do intend to up the power at a latter date.
