Brake upgrade - ae101. How?

[john]

Hi,

I felt that my brake's are a little spongy. What can I do to improve them? Should I change the brake hose to steel braided type? or should I change the disc rotor to cross drilled type? or should I change to better brake pads? or should I just forget it and drive with more cautious? :)

If I were to do the upgrade path, where could I get the stuff? How much should I expect to spend?

Thanks in advance.

John

- do ur 'bleeding' on ur brake...to remove accessive air in ur brake fluid...
- change to better brake pads...
- skim ur brake disk...
- buy EFN reliable brake stopper, which is good on hard braking...

emm amaze what people will do............straight change the part without trying to improve it..

just change this below 1st and tell me if its good or not.

1)Pro-RS steel braided=280
2)EFN brake stopper=dunno??
3)Any high temp brake fluid,Lucas,bendix??
4)Any high temp brake pad


and make sure PROPERLY bleeding the brakes..very2 important...

if you dont this and still not yet satisfied........then only think about everything else..
twinport brake pad expensive woorrrr :D

With above items, it'll cost almost the same price as Twinpot caliper and rotor which is confirm will have much better breaking power.

the best cheapest mod will be to change brake pads and steel braided lines.

still not satisfied, dot5 braking fluid and 4 pot calipers with slotted big disc.

still not satisfied, 6 pots......hahaha.
