I went on your site Martin for a look but it was playing up, errors. So i used the 'email user' on here in your profile, as i read on another post you get too many PM's

Yes please email me a price. Can do with and without tyres if you prefer.
I'm also wanting bigger brakes then to fill the gaps the MO's will create. Low use weekend road car so don't need to go crazy but obviously needs to be right

Will pm you in the morning, I will also pm brake prices but my kits use AP components so they will be dearer than the cheapo stuff but you really do get what you pay for with brakes tbh.

Cheers Martin. Yeah everyones advised me to go AP. I'm sure i remember Sean B back in the day going for Hi Spec at first and having problems?

PM me a price but in all honesty i might have to try to drop on some used ones due to budget and me being a tight arse lol

Are the std brakes quite poor, or is it the fact the APs are just THAT good? I had boggo std on the escos other than drilled and grooved and never had a problem with stopping but i did get fade now n then!

i would not say there poor Lee,a decent set of pads and they will be fine, but i used mine on the track,so standards not good on there lol.

depends what you will be driving style is like and the power you have,you may not need the bigger set up, but imo,with me having big brakes, i would no doubt put bigger on every car i own,makes the car a lot safer.

With wheels, just go for looks, saffs are a hard to get wheels to suit, ive got 18 old style mo's on mine,have had revolutions, new style mo's and pro race 1.2's on in the last year n a half . 18's dont feel as well as the 17's, but they look so much better with bigger wheels. Enjoy your new purchase and let the spending begin!
