When I get around to changing the shoes I'm thinking of trying a different brand as the brakes pads are pants. :Rolleyes:

shoes, you running drums kidda?

[sparkysp]

the brembo items that are fitted as standard are pretty good the only pad change i would consider are DS2000 or black diamond predators pads but
it depends how you drive if your racing around like a loon then your going to need higher temp pads maybe yellow stuff from EBC but then you suffer until they are warm

I know that Hendy run Project Mu on their FK2 and whilst expensive they're supposed to be brilliant.

Thanks for the advice guys. Normally I'm stuck in traffic which this car doesn't like. The Oem ones squeal bad when cold and at low speed. I thought there might be a different type which works as good as the Oem ones but didn't squeal at low speed and when cold. Get the feeling that this pad might not exist. I'll give something else a try. I will look into the brands you suggest sparkysp.

if your fitting them yourself copper slip on the back of the pads and the caliper runners help alot probly find when you take your old ones off they'll be dick all on it

Thanks sparky. The dealer told me they had got brake grease on the back but I'll be surprised if that's the case.
