As above,had a bit of an inspection on my car tody,drivers front brake caliper is sticking on,pads and disc that side are worn down.Anyway I need a good uprated set of discs and pads.Any ideas of what people use.

I know the Brembos seem good,what about pasds though,I am open to ideas but not EBC greenstuff pads.

Finally would you go for grooved or drilled discs or both together.I have my concerns about drilled discs as when they get older the holed tend to crack.Any thoughts on this would be great.

Thanks.Lee.

You need to fix the caliper first as its sticking so it wouldnt matter changing the disc and pads it will happen again. But I use grooved and drilled on mine with mintex pads

Why do you need "uprated" discs and pads? Why wont standard aftermRket items do? Unless you want bling factor dots and grooves on "uprated" discs and pads will make **** all difference.

You need to sort out the sticking caliper first, if you are lucky you can free it using rubber grease other wise you are looking at a caliper strip.

I made a photo walk thru a month or 2 back.

Split the caliper- it's so much easier and buy the toyota rubber grease.

Given same brakes are on the gs300 its maybe marginal.. more bling factor. In my view anyway . Wink
