Myn overheated so i got paranoid

Have got Mintex XTREME Discs & GM Police spec pads

Mintex Discs were fine had a little trouble fitting rear pads in because the discs were slightly wider but it stops very good now no noises etc

the standard brakes are very hard to overheat though


Just get Mark to take your car for a short spin  ;D

EBC red stuff front and rear, with EBC drilled and slotted discs front - they are very grippy but i drive slowly and brake gently (unless provoked)  :y

Does anyone else like the EBC red stuff ?

I didn't push them that hard (due to lack of engine power, and only a 15m 'test')
