Hello folks,

Ok i need some advice, i currently have a 1995 1.2 8v as most of you know, and to be honest my breaks are pretty shocking!!

I let my mate last year drive my car around a racecourse car park, anyway basically he shouts outs, where's the break then, i was like ermm jake seriously now its not funny where they usually ****king are dude! He goes there not working, im like press harder and eventually they worked! Thank god!

Anyway since then i been in many other cars similiar to the age of mine and they have much better breaks.

So i just decided i need better ones, so basically, what would i need, just brake pads? or is it worth going for some better brakes themselves?

Just advice really! And i only have 13" steels at the moment soo getting 15" alloys hopefully

No need to replace the discs and pads if they are in good condition and theres plenty of pad left.

Id have your brakes bleeding and fluid changed first.
