well the mod's keep coming, latest being a set of Brembo 385mm cross drilled brakes with the Pagid RS-29 yellow pads.
First thing to say is the standard brakes aren't bad but I'm sure many of you will agree that after a bit of use they do tend to fade and I never really felt they were that pleasing under my foot. Well The Brembo upgrade fixes any thing I had to moan about before. No fade any more and wow are they smooth and strong. put your foot down hard from high speed and the response is just what you want. not over aggressive but just right the harder your push the quicker you stop with no judder etc. If you slam them on realy hard you can feel the back go light and all your inner organs start to rush to the front of your body.....
I guess it's not all down to the disc the Pagid pads obviously play a big part in the way the new set up works. They do need to get warm but before they do warm up if I'm honest they seem to be similar to the standard ones. it's once they are warm that you realise how good they are. At £545 a set they're not cheap but I hope they will last well and will keep you posted on what the brake dust is like from them. All in all very happy indeed with how they look, feel and work.One down side is it's now even harder to clean the front wheels
and of course no 18" track wheels but who cares.........A selection of pictures for you. Note that they have 4 holes instead of 3 and that they are almost twice the size. I have included a couple of pictures from a distance because that's when you really notice just how much bigger they are and how they fill the wheels. Excuse the rust I had just washed the car.....
Enjoy, any comments welcome
