Max, there tiny...

Gary, as Lee said it\'s very rare that you would still be braking when turning into the corner. It should all be done by then. That\'s unless you want to drift it.

To add to the brake balance thing...

I recently changed by front disks and pads and then a week or so later changed the rear pads.  Fronts had bedded in mostly and rears had done about 10 miles.

Breaked heavily coming up to a roundabout and rear end started to come round.  Not hard to control but a bit unnerving.  Once rears had bedded in there\'s been no repeat (even on track)

This was breaking in a streight line hence being easy to control.

Therefore if the balance is way out you will get some of this happening.  It would probably be a good idea to put some decent pads at least on the rears if upgrading the fronts to this level, probably replace the rear disks too.

Just my opinion though.

those 993 brakes look nice... :cool

Just out of interest - how much is a set of standard Mazda discs and pads, and are they available through a dealer?

Thanks!

Luciano, you have PM.

If you wanted to decrease the risk of unbalancing the car during braking then you could resize the rear discs. (E.g put larger discs on the rear to increase the amount leverage)  However you will need a new mount etc for the rear caliper\'s too.

Just my 2p worth

Anybody know the price of std discs and pads?

[spanerhed7]

I recently renewed my front disks and pads with ones from brake line factors in Sheffield. The disks were made in Nottingham and the pads are lucas. I think thought they where too cheap to be any good: pads 16 quid a pair! disks 39 quid each.  

Then I did a track day at Spa and what a diffrence they made, even pushing into the ABS at the end of the back straight a few times had no effect on them. I had previously thought of upgrading to big brakes, but deffinately wont bother now, and at these prices if you decide they aren\'t good enough you havent wasted much cash.

It also showed how poor worn disks and pads can be, after all the standard setup produced the fastest stopping car of its time.....
