Not too fussed on SS clutch lines.

Critter I can recommend RB156 compound pads. $130 + freight from www.brakedistributors.com.au (http://www.brakedistributors.com.au)

Good initial bite, pretty good high temp bite as well, reasonably low dust (washing once a week with no accumulation). Too early to know what they are doing in terms of rotor wear though.

Trevor at Brake Distributers puts the RB156 and EBC Greenstuffs in the same leauge and price.

They crap all over the available Bendix pads IMHO - had Ultimates on another car so I'm not quite comparing apples with apples I know.

Hope this is of some benefit

good to know - hey and you stole my sig too!!!!!

[SFC01v2]

Not stealing, just borrowing until I can figure out how the hell to make it work different!

[twilightprotege]

LOL!!!! ok i'll forgive you this once ;)

[SFC01v2]

And voila, it is different. Yeah different... :bs:

haha, your getting rorted big time here andy!!

so does any one have any reccomendations for me?? keeping in mind i have disc/drum!!!

[twilightprotege]

arh it's all good....to me it looks good and with a 56.6k modem, i LOVE small sigs.

recomendations...pads i dunno. havent looked into it much yet. well i know you wont have to touch the rears for ages anyway (drums take for ever to wear out). might be a good idea to upgrade to slotted rotors and stainless steel lines (ss lines are mostly likely going to be the next aussie gb)

How hard are you on your brakes?
Do you need a brake upgrade for more than aesthetics?

For pose the cross drilleds look good, but can be construed as dodgy from a performance point of view (i.e. cracking, etc)

Maybe painting bits might be an option...

[ahb11m]

haha, yeah i thought a lick of red paint would make them work better ... i'm saving doing this until i do my suspension... nice red heat proof... like my engine.... hmmm better edit my borrowed sig...

[twilightprotege]

hehehe - sig "liberated" from me. i like it!

yeah i would advise to stay away from x-drilled.

Good heads-up, SFC01v2.

I am currently looking into some slotted rotors, I'll see how that goes as well.
