Josh42 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 JSpecs yes:) But when properly refurbed and with a decent disc/pad combo, JSpecs aren't all bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calzo21 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Very true mate Hence why I'm selling the Apexi power intake and keeping stock airbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 My JSpec's were nearly as good as my UK's, granted not brilliant for track days or constant harsh braking but perfect for day to day. I had green stuff pads on them but I know Chris Wilson does a superb pad setup for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Aye?? Do you or anyone know what good pads to get when it comes to replacing them ? Chris Wilson's Fast Road pads are said to be fantastic. I've read countless praises of them on here. I'll be giving them a go when I need to change my pads for sure! Though I am on UK spec brakes now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straightsix Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Lol knew it was stupid just thought it could damage something if their worn too much If they wear out 'too much' you'd be looking at new discs. Unless of course you like a screechy, grinding sound when you press the brake pedal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
