Brakes

[Tuned_Up_T-Sport]

Hey all i just had a service done and they said in a few thousand miles ill need new front discs n pads so i thought id upgrade while i was at it, he was going to get me some EBC ones because they get a discount there, BUT they dont do a kit and apparently not many people do i dont want bigger brakes ( cant be bothered with the hassle ) just slotted/drilled discs and performance pads....

Any ideas people

3g discs with either endless pads but they are expensive, or ebc pads which are a lot cheaper and quite a few people recommend them.

try envy for them

How much of a difference does this sort of thing make?

and do you have to declare it to the ins. company, because I dont really see it as an 'upgrade' per se, more of a different brand of, well - a consumable item on the car.

Its not like you have to declare sporty tyres (even if you were mad and stuck toyo R888's on for a hundred miles sheer enjoyment ) - are 'consumables' exempt?

Must admit I dont mind the performance of my brakes (think they are great, actually!) but I'd like an improved pedal feel, so one day i'll be on the blower to them declaring some braided lines and looking forward to a wonderfully inflated premium :P

get endless pads, ebc are ok.... but who wants ok with brakes eh? get some braided lines too :)

well I went for a bit of a long-way-home after fuelling up tonight and I think the standard brakes are pretty cool..

my main gripe with the car under braking was its suspension (yet again.. - tis the thing I hate most about the Yaris!)

the nose is pointing at the floor & the back end is in the air practically, doesn't feel too stable.

I think braided lines will make the pedal feel slightly nicer - better feedback, as it'll be stiffer :)

cant wait for Envy to email me back with those prices on the stech springs and that, will buy as soon as I know what strut-braces are available from what makes. if the S-Tech had a normal price, not £0.00 i'd buy on their website :P
