Brake options?

Post by Bailes1992 »

Brake pad warning light is comming on very dimly when I apply the brakes. Had a look and theres still abit on them, will do for a month or two anyway.

Thinking Mintex all round and front and rear goodrich braided houses with a fresh fluid change.

Just fancy a sharper pedal.
Anyone got any other options?

euro car parts always have an offer on every so often. its not on constant but it always comes and goes
usually 20% off all brake equipment.
i will wait for that offer when i need new disc's and pads

eicher brakes there called. the cheap ones will do perfectly for driving we do really.
i see no point spending shed loads on expensive disc's and pads for a family saloon car

each to their own tho 8)

I bought the front pads on ebay (250980026541) and waited and found a pair of genuine front discs on there for £30 so thats the front sorted quite cheaply,if your in no hurry i'd just keep an eye out and see what crops up.
