    Brakes

    Am not happy with my brakes set up, dont get me wrong compared to std they are mint, but i expected more!

    Running Hi spec 285mm 4 pot kit on the front, with cross drilled discs and green stuff pads

    I've heard bad things about all of that tbh, but am not gonna be changing the calipers so i was wondering are grooved discs a better bet and what pads am i best of with?

    cheers

    Yeah, maybes try renewing the brake fluid, but I don't like Greenstuff pads either. Try a different type of pad.

    drilled discs also aren't as good as solid.
