brakes again

[Jamie.]

coming home from a cs meet yesterday i was going about 100 and broke really quite hard to a stop.... the brake pedal went unusally 'far' down. and after that incident i now get a grinding noise when braking. usually i would think that it was the brake pads, however, when i swapped my alloys over a few weeks ago there was a decent amount of pad left on the brakes. the only bad thing was the discs were a bit rusted around the rim. it seems to 'grind' when braking from high speed now as well. i.e. u cant just here the noise at 10/20/30/40 mph.

suggestions please............

well it would have been that one particular instance yesterday that would have 'done it'. the brake pedal went v far down too. if only marks kit were 300 id buy one with discs now.

8? i just looked at brake pads when wheels were off lol.

u have two on each corner mate.

A bit of gravel might have been thrown up and stuck causing the grinding noise.

has anyone tried another brake kit apart from marks? something around the 300mark with discs included?

Nick read - HiSpec
Martin - BB Tunnings big disk conversion
Williams2 - 6pot tarrox disks at the front and 4 pots rear

are those within the £300 budget mark?
