Race Brakes Upgrade

Postby BigDon » Mon May 17, 2004 8:26 pm

I have just got a full brake upgrade from Race brakes and it is f**king awesome, some of the best money I have spent on a modification and the guy Steve Currie I dealt with is really on to it.

I have gone from standard rotors, fluid and EBC green stuff pads all round to...

Brembo slotted front rotors, new standard rear rotors, ELF fluid and Mintex 1166 pad all round,

and the car stops amazingly well like more than twice as fast as before, I am yet to fully test the brakes as Im running the rotors in before bedding the pads in but if they are this good initially then they can only get better once they are bedded in.

Any one who says mintex is crap from cold is IMO talking crap they work damn well from cold heaps better than EBC anyway.

Sorry for the rave but just had to be said

Full credit to race brakes!

i was gonna get that, but i de3layed my plans, mintex has got some good reviews....and elf fluid too, though the brembo rotors must be expensive...but i guess its worth it, iwouldve gotten a slightly cheaper jap brand.....

but anyways, in future reference, if you want to buy mintex pads, bnt sells them cheaper, same stuff too
