Topic: Rear brakes - What should I do?

Post #1 I've been told that the rear brake bias compensation thingy has seized and looking at the rear disks and pads I might as well have them changed at the same time. As I don't have any plans to track the car or increase bhp I was thinking of just getting a local garage to fit standard replacement parts. But.... ...I was thinking that I might be able to get some discs and pads off the internet that would perform better and get the garage to fit them for the same price overall. What do you think? I thought I was over my modding days!

Rear brakes don't have such an effect on braking as the fronts. I would use standard, or the same as the fronts, but not grippier. ____________________ Pugs not Drugs Spanner Monkeys Monkey Spanner
