Just tidy up the std items. They're perfectly fine when working properly. I use mine on track no trouble.

after getting new calipers and pads on the rear i think ill just get new OE calipers for the front as the difference is very noticeable, i think my original ones are just past there best

to be honest standard should be fine with decent pads (i run mintex m1144's), standard discs are fine too.

When are you going to push it to the point that u want 4 pots?

Yeah but you told me the pads that were on there were crap, they are fine, just needed wearing in :twisted:
