Asad Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 On a N/A? no point wasting 70 beans on just pads......Braided linesBMC stopperStandard discs (ADL or other) 5.1 fluidnot sure on pads mabe try green stuff? hear yellow perform well once heated upa much more effective set-up for a N/A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Green stuff are like £60 anyway so I wouldn't say it's a "waste".I can't actually speak from experience on upgraded brake pads but brakes are definately an area that need attention with the N/A.Once I had upgraded my suspension aswell as the usual Corolla manifold/air filter mods the brakes were a massive let down. Could have driven so much quicker if I didn't have to allow for such a long braking distance all the time.Just because it's a non turbo don't assume that having good brakes isn't neccessary. On a track you could make up alot of time with a good brake setup (as you don't have the power to go quickly so you need to make use of what power you do have).But it's all down to the sort of driving you do if it's just general road/speed limit use I wouldn't go ballistic.

Asad Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 You want a full set of 4? or just front 2?.......i`d wait mabe enzo might has some introductory offers as getting rear braided lines for N/A drums isn`t as easy as getting them for the V/82 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rickstar Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 cool al keep a look out! nice 1 bro! prob front two really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I've just ordered some Greenstuff pads from Fensport for just over £50Front Braided lines from Dave @ TD for £35All I need is some 5.1 Fluid and I'm ready to sort my crappy brakes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Greenstuff for me, performed well on my n/aHave mintex 1144 on the GT and I am very disappointed, they give more brake dust than standard and still fade like a mother!!Next for me I would go back to greenstuff or try the yellowstuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
