Rear Brake Pad Upgrades....

^^^^
Not for the feint hearted! Personally I'll be leaving such methods well alone. The car hasn't put me in a ditch so far with things as they are.

Just to update this thread with the info that I am now buying some S3 rear brakes (whole kit) from DaveB.
Like most mods, they aren't absolutely essential but I have learnt a lot from the discussions on this thread and they appear to be a very good upgrade to better match my AP Racing front brakes, especially as I have started to do more trackdays/Nordschleife.
DaveB is a bit modest about being called a 'brakes guru' but he certainly knows his stuff and is also able to supply all sorts of brake components extremely competitively priced.
:drinking:

I knew that once you had it in your head it wouldn't be long before your slope got a little slippy again :grin: :driver:

....You're not entirely blameless in spending my money on the S3 rear brakes either!
It was you who so graphically described how much better they are than oem rears with a front BBK. I think it will encourage me to use my brakes more than I do.
