Brake Goodies

Postby filtra on Wed Feb 07, 2007 10:40 pm

Since the front o/s caliper started to bind I decided to treat myself to some Ford remanufactured calipers, mintex pads and goodridge hoses all round. Get the brake performance up to spec without changing the original setup... anywho...

Pads are MDB1175-X X denotes extreme which denotes not extreme but fast road use for us boy racers lol.

Anyway if any one has used these before and what they think i'd like to know :)

Yup I think so! They were just mintex MDBB1175 1144 then became C-Tech now but apparently that compound is discontinued so I guess these are the new version!

Intrestingly it says these brakes are also for the chimera and griffith. (So thats now brakes and back lights TVR have piked off the fiesta :P!)
