Default Brakes

On my XR3i (1990) I was going to upgrade the brake to cossie brakes, however putting this on the back shelf for a while.

So I just want to upgrade my discs and pads, what are the best discs and pads to have?


Cheers

if u are only doing the front as the rear disc conversion is a pain in the arse why but discs and pads only 2 replace them later with cossie ones. ebay is a good source for cossie brakes.

Save some cash and go to Rally Design and buy some of their group N discs and sports pads. Should cost less than a ton delivered and will be great.
