Did it not make any difference to the braking of the car

Majority of braking force is absorbed by front disks. You'd do better spending the money on upgrading the fronts with top quality brake components IMO  :y

No Jim, but they do look good. I bought a set of genuine rear discs of the net for £40 but it took me ages to find the calipers. Might be easier now though ;)



Fitted to my old 99 Elite estate :y

I know, 75% on the front 25% on the rear, I think :-?

But just thought I would ask :)
