Am using mtec c hook with endless mx72 pads. Awesome performers and streets ahead of the EBC redstuff I tried before. The latter weren’t bad - had good bite with some heat in them / quiet / low dust - but the MX72 are superb. Also use steel hoses / bronze caliper bushes / ATE 200.

The rear fog light is not intended to be a "4th brake light", it should be wired to the front fogs or a dedicated switch. Write-up is good but it would make more sense to have the rear fog light as a functional modification.
