improving brakes ????

[fordy]

Hi, I would like to try and improve the brakes next time i change the pads - are there any makes of pads and or disc that anyone can recommend that will improve the braking - at the moment i do not have full confidence in them, or maybe i just need to get used to them. thanks Chris 4L chimaera 95 M

I think the 97 onwards chims had the 5 ltr brakes. Maybe you can upgrade your 94 chim? IMHO they're great. Into the esses at donington, scrubbing off 100mph & no fade. All on standard pads/discs.

thanks. Maybe ill just try changing them for the standard and see if they improve, it may mean than mine are just a bit knackered and need replacing. cheers Chris

I recently bought new pads from david gerald. I've found them to be the cheapest so far. I'm sure they'd know about the upgrade. They do mail order too. http://www.davidgeraldtvr.freeserve.co.uk/ Hope this helps

I have just had 300mm discs/4 pots fitted - unbelievable difference Peninsula do upgrades from the sublime to the ridiculous call them for a chat I previously had my 4ltr brakes upgraded to 5ltr for about 200 quid
