Time for new, bigger & better brakes... but what to go for?

[alexparkes]

Right y'all!

Not impressed with the brakes on my EP3. Got uprated (Stop-tech?) pads and standar discs new brake fluid but TBH, they're not that great.

After 1/2 lap of the 'ring they stank and just faded!

So, definately going to be getting some braided brake lines, thats for sure!

Just not sure what to disc/caliper/pad set up to go for?

Brembo's would be good (mainly for looks!) but i'm open to other options. Would a braided lines/grooved discs/better pads setup be up to task or should I be looking at bigger discs and calipers, too.

Whats around out there?

Cheers!

Braided lines are a MUST. Plus Motul RBF600 fluid and pads of your choice although I can happily recommend Ferodo Ds2500

OEM discs are more than fine. As are the standard Calipers. What let you down is your brake fluid and rubber brake lines

Worth a read, as are most of stoptech's other features.

Good article, although the OP's problem won't be related to brake balance
