Leave the green/red/yellow stuff to the corsa brigade
OEM is more than adequate and designed for the purpose IMO

Hi,
Best improvement for brakes is stuff from a higher spec model.
For instance most B10 V8 cars come with standard 540 brakes. A massive improvement can be made by fitting M5 brakes, these are listed as optional parts in the Alpina parts list too.
Stainless steel braided hoses will give an improvement by making sure all the pressure gets to the brakes.
Cheers,
Gavin

I used Demon Tweaks when I renewed the suspension on mine, they were competitive and quick delivery, my brother also uses them for his track car and racing car.A4PNA wrote:Hi all I need to replace these items, can anyone recommend a supplier I was thinking of greenstuff pads and turbo drilled and grooved.
