Brake upgrade.
Boothy:
So you can literally just remove the standard brakes and bolt the R32 etc brakes directly to the existing holes etc ? Sounds like a job even I could carry out!
I'm not really disappointed with the standard brakes but I like the look of the BIGGER brakes but wasn't prepared to spend a boat load on it. Think I'll give them pads a try tho.
Boothy:
Looking at the Ferodo DS2500 pads it says 'Race' but also has some for 'Street' ? Race = better performance, less durable?

....How long the pads last depends how heavy you are on using brakes.
AP Racing supply 'Race' DS2500's with their big brake kit and mine lasted 40k miles but I am exceptionally light on brake use, tending to use them heavily but less often than the average road driver. However, they have been selected as best to match AP's disc materials.

Just ordered a tin of the ATE Stuff, will get some braided hoses next month and ds2500s with OEM discs in sept.
Will coincide with fitting VWR clutch kit :smiley: & 20k service by then
