Its time for me to replace my brake disks and pads.

I will be going for a set of greenstuff pads, but i was unsure of what disks to go for?

I just wondered if there is any upgrades i can make without having to modify the standard calipers (as i didnt want to do that yet).

Would i be able to fit drilled disks, what would the advantage be?

Any recommendations?

Thanks
Mike

You can get drilled or grooved discs without modifying the original calipers. And IMO, I would get black stuff pads, work better from cold, green stuff is more a track day pad (although people have used them with no problems).

would i need any different drive flanges,etc for the drilled and grooved disks to fit?

Are they worth the increase in price over standard disks?

[Jammy]

You don't need to change your flanges. As for being an improvement I can't say as I haven't used them. I would of thought you would only need to spent the extra cash if you've modified your engine a fair bit. You mind me asking what your spec is?

its just a standard 998 at the moment that i will be uprating in the future. Would just a set of new standard disks and some ebc pads be suitable?

Stick with std and some mintex pads, you wont need any more unless you have a seriously long 1 in 4 hill where you live

But you are supposed to use engine braking and not the brakes to maintain ur speed going down a hill! :tongue:

Exactly, so there's no point in overdoing the heat resistance of the braking system :tongue:

I use the "ferodo power stop kit" from mini sport they are reletivly cheap and stop really well.
