As promised an update on my newly fitted upgraded discs and performance pads
See previous thread http://www.a2oc.net/forum/showthread.php?t=5677
Firstly let me start by saying, that there is no technical need to have these fitted as the standard discs and pads are more than capable of doing there job
I fitted these discs because:
I have done now about a 1000 miles with the new set-up, so how are these and can I recommend them:
Yes, the more aggressive stopping power is there – but oh so easy to apply – no need for heavy pedal pushing
Yes, it stops better under rainy conditions - and we had a lot of that (les fading)
Yes, they look good on the car
Yes, they are more reliable (had to do an emergency stop and I felt that I was fully in control of the car - the stopping power was very easy to manage)
Yes, I can surely recommend them (I would fit them again if I had to do it all over again
No, I'm not bias to these. I was as much surprised as anybody else as, that a grooved and drilled discs would make that much of a difference
So read into this as much as you want, I am keeping them

- Because I can
