I called Tony at VSports last week for some advice and after describing the symptoms (pedal going a little longer but coming back with a single "pump") he suggested I just needed to replace the fluid. I then asked about a reasonable braking power upgrade. Not needing anything for the track and not being all that interested in bling I settled on a simple front upgrade in addition to fluid flush.
End result: DBA 4k's on the front with Hawk ceramic pads. The brake fluid was pretty shit too apparently. I guess just flushing the brake lines would have done the job but, meh
This is one of the old front rotors. Doesn't look too bad. They'll sit around gathering dust at my place in case I decide to put them back on in the future.
My impression on the new brakes? Well, it is too early to tell. They do pull the car up so they seem to be doing their most basic job alright. I'll let them bed in properly and take it out for a run in the country in the next couple of weeks. Only problem is that I most likely won't have the car this weekend (and if I do, shouldn't be out fanging in it I guess)
