Okay so if you guys have done a 'vent' conversion on your bonnet, place your pictures here.

Need some advice here please.

My rear pads are in desperate need of changing.

Would Brembo Pads be good enough or would you recommend other pads?

I dont do track days but would like some fast road pads what will do there job.

Thanks, as they are £28 from Euro Car Parts.

Didnt want to waste an extra £20 or so on different pads what i dont actually need.

Mintex 1144 are meant to be excellent and the next step up for around £50 delivered on ebay.

DT ?

Demon Tweeks..

 

[Adam_C]

Not sure what to go for then?

Will brembo be good enough for what i want them for? cant beat good stopping power.

Ideally you'd want to match the front and rears, no the tears don't brake much comparing to fronts but to keep it balanced it's always good to keep them all same.

Stay clear of ebc if you plan any track time.

Standard pads for the rear will be more than adequate imo. Never felt the need on any car to upgrade the rears.

Brembo for me in any car I believe there are different variations though avoid ebc if your pushing your car hard and ferodos are really good a few of my pals have them in their cars (rs,evo etc) n they push their cars

WOW your car looks awesome @Adam_C

Ok so got round to doing my rear pads this weekend

Not many pictures as it's pretty straight forward but here goes

New Pads in the box



New pads and bolts



Wheel off ready get the old pads out


Can anyone tell me if that rear spring is sat right?



Had my little helper! (yes his hands are hanging!!)



Old pads


All done


as i say not many pictures throughout doing them but there is not much to them!

Pleased to say my engine management light has gone off along with the check emissions but im still having a problem with the check injection, still need to get it plugged in.
