Time For New Brakes

Taz_1 · July 9, 2007

Hi guys, been heavy on the brakes the last few weeks and i think i need new brakes.

Priced up a brake conversion from Hi-spec (6-pot) and its £1784 + VAt (front only), obviously supplies as a kit but its a bit too much for me at the moment.

So, its gonna have to be just pads and discs, i tried EBC on my altezza but didnt like em, so was thinking of going for black diamond, has anyone got them on a GS, if so what are they like?

Any other good makes out there?

(want pads with low dust - to keep bling rims shiny)

I dont know if you've got your brakes sorted yet or not, but a really good option is to upgrade to the 4-pot setup from the MK4 Toyota Supra TT.

A set of calipers, discs and pads can be had for about £600 for the front and if done right can take your teeth out under heavy braking! You will however, need bigger wheels to accomodate them.
