brakes again

[willows40]

Hi

I`m rebuilding a mk1 estate at moment, I`m fitting mk2 front brakes to it, as it has  the early disc`s on it at moment,
What are the best pads to use? And where to get them from

Cheers Andy

there are other racing grades available, but the price goes up

In your shoes the above will be fine with RobSport stocking these.  I have also used TRW pads in my Stag with good results (CAS sell these).  If you really wish to get the best braking from a stock MkII setup I can recommend the Mintex M1144s, but cheap these are not (Around £70).  They do give one quite a bit more confidence in braking though!

in many places it seems its cheaper to convert to stag  caliper and disc as they are cheaper just look at rimmers disc and pad kit prices  just a thought

Its getting stag calipers that is the problem, otherwise would of gone the stag route

Will these pads really fit mk2 2000 calipers?

Stag and 2000 use the same pads, Looking at the box my pads came in mgb`s also use the same pads,
Have greenstuff on my mg, had them on for about 6 years now, only thing i find is that if you take it steady and use the brake gently the brake lose there bite, It only takes a bit of spirited driving to bring them back
