guys guys,my s2 has just been treated to new rear hubs plates cylinders and shoes(springs+clips too),recon front calipers,new pads,discs,fluid,solid hoseing and goodridge,and my brakes are sound,!190bhp,,dont know how long theyll last like that,maybe till i can afford bigger setups/rear discs.

service your old setup,fit proper hoses,and decent pads,good discs,you maybe suprised!

new tyres make a big difference,and learning to brake properly is paramount,we can all "point and slam the anchors on",theres a lot in your stopping ,other than just stopping.
