did you buy new disc rotors or modify the originals?

Brakes first mate as you want to know that you can stop befor you go IMO any way.

so true

well my brake pedal has a cm of slack in it now thanks to winton and my rear pads have a quater of meat left on them, i want i could just replace the pads with a semi street pad because my drive to work is only 12 mins so i dont wanna get something thats useless when cold maybe look into new rotors>.

what pads should i look at getting and where from? hopefully under $150 for a full set if possible

are these rotors any better than the factory and would it be worth it? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Mitsubishi-FTO-9 ... 2c55c40a40

Flush your fluid

yeah i might, it dosent get over halfway unless its on the track and the water has coolant in it, wouldent the boiling point be the same? anyway ill prob only do it if im going to take the fto on the track again

nothing wrong with those discs

as for pads try EBC green stuff or Red stuff
or Ferrodo DS2500

fronts will cost around the 150 mark, but you wont get all four corners for that price

o ok that aint too bad i suppose thewy will last longer too because of the harder compound right?

not really its more that they will still 'bite' much better even under extreme temp on track

thus reducing/eliminating brake fade

If you really want to get serious about brakes use decent fluid, sotted rotors, good pads and braided lines

Safety first mate even if you crash chances are you will be fine but the car might not

i have a lot of faith in my breaks they have never let me down so far, i use dot 4 brake fluid already i might just get soe good pads for now...... will i notice a difference in normal everyday driving'?
