Brake kit reviews... your help required.
« on: March 04, 2009, 10:28:58 am »
I was going to knock up a product review in the traditional style, but then thought with there being a fair few types of kits knocking around on members cars... wouldn't it be better to do 1 big one with them all in and a review on each set??

So, volunteers.. I need:
Make
Size
Caliper type
Cost
Pictures
Suppliers
Estimated cost of replacement discs/pads
Any fitting requirements like spacers etc?
Owners thoughts - pedal feel, power, noise, downsides?

So, if you have anything out of the ordinary, volunteer and PM me something I can cobble together into one big post. I'll ask a few of my mates over at UK-MKVs too, as I know there's a few nobody on here has.

Thanks.
Sideways yo!

It's going to cost you your seats, young man... be careful leaving your car at Votex next time :wink:

No problem though, it'll be useful info. Just need some takers to help.
Sideways yo!
