For what its worth im not that keen on the Black Diamonds. They are fine for road use and dont make any noise or anything, but taking them on track I just didnt feel like the car was going to stop. Was pretty under hard braking though, probably 160+.

Hiya,

Sounds like you need a set of Hawk HT10\'s in the front also a set of HP+ in the back would help keep your brake balance and also improve your braking performance overall.

Hawk HT10 / front Â£129+ VAT

Hawk HP+ / rear Â£42.74 + VAT

Hope this helps

All the best Clive

This is what I\'m running plus black diamond slotted + drilled discs at the front. They\'re awesom. Better than stock setup from cold and so much better when hot!

They\'re a tad noisier then stock pads - occasional squeal and a bit more nosiy under use but the feel on the peddle is better.

Stood up really well to the track session at trax.

Well worth the investment. Had a drive in a stock FD recently and it was scary how the breaks feel in comparison.
