i went for 3g 10 grove with mintex fast road pads on the front and std discs and pads on rear wit braided hoses all round, and what a difference!!! belive me you dont need anything special on the rear, as for abs i put 2 new cv joinys on as well, and my abs didnt work but the dash light was on and mot looming, i think its around £100 for a sensor and i couldnt work out which one it was as there are 4!! so out came the abs fuse and dash bulb, so no more abs but i have driven in all conditions and havent needed it yet!! hope this helps. ps i got all the stuff of dave tm-developments and its not that much more expensive than std all round
