Hi all, i recently had a remap done by Andy forrest and the car is now flying. Excellent results. Need to make it stop now. Whats a good disc/pad upgrade without breaking the bank?

i have recently upgraded my brakes due to upping my power by a considerable amount to newage brembo's (onto my classic) i can honestly say they are unbelievable compared to the 4 pots i had before it's one of my best upgrades.
got my hole set at a good price and have recently purchased some discs and performance friction pads from godspeed so they are even better.
brembo's would get my vote hands down.

Keep your eye out for Prodrive Alcons. [330mm]
I sold my 4 pots for £300 and got the Alcons for £550. The discs were like new and the pads had 8 mm so for £250 to change I now have some fantastic brakes that are a doddle to fit.

I got in on one of the K-Sport 8-Pot group buys, I then sold my 4 pots and got the whole upgrade within your budget. It might be worth considering as I think there's another one on now.

Drilling is not advised, it causes stress fractures in the metal which under extreme braking causes cracks to appear and then disc failure (normally quite badly) unless of course your like Porsche and cast your discs with the holes already in ![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Grooved are your best bet tbh.
