I currently have uprated disks and pads on the front... they are very good once they get some heat in them but I was just wondering what set up the rest of u lot have...? Im talking for fast road and occasional track day use.


Just seeing if I get get any ideas

 

At the moment my FRST has completely standard brakes

Wilwoods are on the cards though

 

have hi-spec 4 pots and black diamond discs waiting to go on

 

Hi spec 4 pots with 285mm grooved discs

 

i have the old school cossie 4x4 set up and think that is awesome can't fault it for the money really

 

It's the cost of decent discs and pads that worries me largely. £170 for Tarox 40 groove discs and £70 for pads. By time I've forked out for that and then some callipers on top of that I figured for an extra few quid I may as well get something a little bit special

 

yeah fair point fella wish i had of looked into it really lol

 

i got escort cossie disc and calipers, was gunna go for 4 pots but a set of cossie calipers with drilled and grooved disc's came up for £60, i got a new set of mintex pads, so in all it cost me about £95 so cant fault the cost and sure as hell cant fault the brakes, although i think soon im gunna need some new disc's

 

i've got standard size brakes callipers but have drilled & grooved discs & green stuff pads.. these worked really well for about the first week, but now the discs have warped and i get an annoying vibration when breaking, the discs are only couple of months old! going to go for cossie breaks next i think!

 

fords and warped discs, that sounds about right!

bed them in nice and gradual, and keep your fingers crossed next time mate!

 

thats what happens when u use green stuff pads. It's very very very common. Use ferodo or mintex.
