[s-cars] Simple brake upgrade

[Vincent Frégeac]

Rotor: Zimmerman, plain
Pads: Pagid
There are other choices for the pads, it's just the combination I use
and it's a definitive improvement over the OEM setup.

For the pedal feel, the rotor and pads won't help much. Make sure your
rear pads have more than 50% left, adjust the parking brake and bleed
the brake lines. It won't be a bad idea to change the brake fluid while
you're at it. There is a few suggestions of brake fluids here:

The pedal feel won't be perfect but that's the best you can do with the
OEM callipers.

Objet : [s-cars] Simple brake upgrade

Apologies for the apparant constant questions, plus apologies if i'm
draging
a brake war debate into the open, again!!

All i want is a simple rotor & pad upgrade which will give good initial
bite
& good pedal feel. Stopping power is still important, as is working from
cold. They will only be used for street & fast road driving, no track or
autocross.

Is there a solution out there?

Cheers
Trevor.
