Hi,
Are you satisfied? did you ever have any problem with disc or calipers. Did you feel big improvement on braking power.
What type of disc you have slotted or crossdrilled or boths.
My doubts are because a brembo kit or Ap is twice the price.

Thanks

Same kit mate. Yes I noticed an improvement (but I would as I only had two pots originally). The 325mm discs I went for were drilled and grooved. Look great. Mintex pads do seem quite harsh. I'm not an heavy braker anyway so notice a lot of squeal at low speeds. This goes when you've got them warm. No track days so I dont know what they're like under serious braking.

Hi,
Yes I'd echo everything RLE said, I've got the exact same kit as him, grooved and cross drilled (tho I had asked for grooved only but the order got mixed up.) The calipers are monobloc steel instead of alloy. The power is great, didn't change the pedal travel much but the confidence they give can't be faulted. About the Mintex pads, Ian now offers the Ferodo DS2500 which I'll try next as the Mintex's were a little too dirty for me and can squeal sometimes, do work well from cold but get better with some heat.

Cool

yea i've also got that kit and agree with everthing above going from 2 pots. yea the mintex pads are squeely round town and at slow speeds. when you brake from high speeds they are amazing. excellent value for money
