I have the drilled Brembo disc's with Brembo pads (Front & back) on mine but only noticed better and more positive braking in the wet rather than when it's dry. But not such an expensive upgrade and certainly better then the original factory fitted disc's.

Nice pal and hopefully they might improve the breaking alittle as the breaks on my van are pretty rubbish. I would like to change the discs n callipers but money is tight at the moment.
Would you know what discs n callipers are a straight swap over ?
Thanks again james

So much cheaper than a turbo and remap upgrade, the rest of us have been getting it wrong LOL

Nice seats glen, little tip if you put a damp cloth on the seat and run an iron on the damp cloth (not on the leather) it will take any crease out of the seats. Try and get some leather oil, it will soften the leather and bring back the shine.
