| Post subject: | 185 Brake upgrade recommendation. |
Well decided to upgrade my brakes a tad before going any further with bhp modifications. I went for 3G's Brembo based 20 grove discs front and rear using Mintex fast road pads. Excellent! What a great improvement! along with replacing the brake fluid for some synthetic fluid I'd highly recommend 3G's products  Most helpful folks too 
3G's website: www.3gbrakes.co.uk Price: Front & rear 20 grove discs £315 delivered Price with Mintex pads £420 delivered. Tone |

I take it you run with the stock disc size, just grooved, with a hotter pad. Or did you go for larger disc. like that from a TT. The stock brakes on the 185 are very sad, how they managed to supply the vehicle on the road with them i don,t know. |

correct Didn't fancy all the messing about with 205 calipers etc so went stock diameter. I wasn't disappointed with the standard discs, its just I wanted better. The standard discs are crap at suffering brake fade imho. As for the single pot calipers I've never been a great fan of the sliding type as they always end up sticking at some point in their life  but they do stop the old girl ok with the new setup thats for sure.
