Brake issues again following 314mm upgrade

[fatfred]

Massive difference when the chuckle brothers fitted mine. Felt like a massive hand slamming down on the bonnet.

Well there's a mornings graft wasted , FFS I have fitted them the wrong way around PMSL

Am i going to notice a big improvement in braking the correct way around ??!!!

Oh yes....you'll stop in a heartbeat

Well if ive got to swap them again , is it worth fitting some performance brake pads such as EBC red stuff ? do these make a difference ?

[plasma]

I find normal pads quite sufficiently whiplash enducing... especially the police spec 'softer feel' pads

[RBH]

​I would recommend the standard vx pads

VX pads

[sri-nut]

just ordered GM police spec front pads

Debating upgrading my rears to 292mm , are these really worth the upgrade ?

[fatfred]

I didn't bother but they will add better stopping. Get the 314s working properly and see if you needed them.

[RBH]

I did.
Only because I had upgraded the fronts. The 292 rears are vented an look cosmetically nicer than the standard 276 solid rears that was on.
Plus they'll stop you better should you need to.

They don’t add a lot because of the brake bias to the front but they do add a bit and vented means if you do push on they will last longer before fading. My old auto had them added with the 314’s and it used to stand on its nose.
