New front discs and pads - recommendations, please

Hi, All

Considering new discs and pads for the front of my '04 Connie, but would like something with real 'bite' - any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I doubt you will get real bite. The braking system gives a progressive braking appearance rather than bite. Most discs and pads will be much of a muchness.

If you upgrade to a 190 setup you will get better power and stopping but i havent utilised this setup so cant really comment.

As for discs and pads Unipart are recommended. I use Pagid which are fine and don't rust but give off quite a bit of brake dust.

Recommend Borg & Beck - available from DMGRS here.

Bonus is a nice grey coating
