Hispec catalogue in the post as we speak. Don't want to upset my insurance company too much with loads of mods though.

EBC greenstuff are fantastic.
When cold, they are as good as standard brakes (very important IMO).
When hot, they have great stopping power and some feel too.
Carlos and RobK have been out in my car after the change and said they could not believe it was only a change of pads.
If you are not going for the full upgrade, then this is a cheap alternative. I only did it because mine needed replacing and standard were more expensive.
Best £200 I've spent on the car. [img]images/graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Yeh, I agree with Biturbo there. Greenstuff suprised the hell outta me. Well worth the money.

Actually you'll probably find as I did that the insurance company will welcome the brake upgrade - in fact they said they wouldn't have insured me for the mods I was proposing without the brake upgrade.
If you need any convincing of the benefit of a set of big reds PM me and I'll give you a demonstration - like hitting the middle pedal as hard as I can at 70 MPH - staggering [img]images/graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
