What do you guys reckon, is this a good price or would you rather buy rears to go with this ?

[caishanvr4]

£275 is tempting but its beyond me, bugger

[SGHOM]

the rears would be nice, but as they only do around 20% of the braking, not essential.
I paid £500 for my front/rear set, so that price is pretty good ! /yes

[jakester]

Will they fit with a 16" wheel?

[psbarham]

not on your car mate :embarasse unless you buy some new hub carriers and abs sensors , and i'll let derek have the honour of telling you the price :inquisiti

[jakester]

While SGHOM is correct that rears would not be essential, I would get the full set if I were you.

You see, its not your brakes that stop your car, its your tyres. My understanding was that braking capability was something like 70%/30% front/rear.
From factory the brake balance is configured to apply approximatly this ratio of pressure to your brakes so you get maximum braking. If you upset this balance, even though your front brakes may be "better" you can actually increase your stoping distance because your rear tyres don't make full use of their stopping ability.

Not sure what ABS does to this equation... though If you get ABS activating under braking then you DO NOT need brembos, you need new tyres.

Ideally we would all have adjustable brake bias and be able to "tune" it to our brake/suspension setups... /Hmmm
