K'in hell ........ just had new front discs, pads - front and rear and new brake fluid.

Decided to see what difference it all made and nearly ended up through the windscreen :embarasse

And the DS2500's were still cold !!

I wasn't ! :embarasse

Just bought Blueprint rear pads as they only account for 25% i'sh of the braking.
Standard Mitsy discs.

It would be interesting to check our stopping distances with different set up's (on a track)

thats good that it made such a difference.......,

My brakes are quite spongy...... maybe I need to replace the fluid.... :chugchug:

I have noticed with my Redstuff pads they need to warm up before they give good stopping power..... which is'nt much good when you're just pootling along and a random prabbit decides its going to decapitate itself on your bumper.... /Steeringw

Isn't redstuff for trackdays and the like, hence needing a greater operating temperature.
