Basically I'm not happy with my brakes of my FRST, I already have EBC discs and greenstuff pads. I think I may have a faulty servo unit so I'm replacing it tonight.

Any suggestions greatly recieved.

Go for EBC discs with Redstuff pads! or u could go for a bigger disc conversion like what Paul mentioned, or even a 285mm disc conversion on standard calipers.

did changing the servo work?

or if uve got loadsa cash, go for 335mm discs with 4 pot calipers! and a rear disc conversion like Sunnys! :wink:

About £1500 :eek:

You'll need 17"s to clear them.
