Time to renew brakes...

[trotter]

Right lads & lassies,

Now that her stopping performance has progressed from "comedy", through "worrying" and "Ooh, that was close" and is finally at "just" - it\'s time to get the finger out and get them sorted methinks.

Gonna wait til next month so I can get everything at once. Going by opinions on here i\'m going for:

Uprated grooved and vented discs from Speedline
Hawk pads from MRP (expect an order soon Clive if you read this! :wave )
Goodridge braided lines from MRP (as above Clive!)
and i\'ve not decided which fluid to use yet.

Couple of questions:

I assume the hose kit is enough to do the whole car, including the lines to and from the master cylinder?

How easy are the hoses to fit? What can I expect to break/snap off during removal/installation?

And do I need to bleed the clutch as well? Some guides say yay, others say nay?

Cheers in advance

I\'ve got Hawk pads, and black diamond front grooved disks, very pleased with how they stop....but wish I bought EBC pads, as they have little if any brake dust!

T  best pads i had were mintex extreme from clive but believe not made anymore,have kept away from grooved disks as worried about cracking under stress - others swear by them

Fixed that for you

I\'ve got Hawk pads, and black diamond front grooved disks, very pleased with how they stop....but I am glad I didnt buy EBC pads, as they fall apart, give off loads of brake dust, and have no stopping ability what-so-ever and are only used by saxo drivers that spend far too much time at MacDonalds!

EFA
So as to not give false hope to anyone else
