I'm finding my 2010 GGH25 a bit under-braked, can anyone recommend a brake upgrade that won't break the bank?

I have looked at Brembo kits and the other big brands but don't really want to spend £2500 + just for the front.

EBC do four new discs and pads for under £400 but I would like to upgrade the calipers ideally.

Any suggestions/recommendations?

I have heard people saying on the forum that changing to braided pipes made a difference, but mine is stock so can't confirm.

Hi Gary,

Firstly have you checked the condition of your existing calipers?

And a good fluid bleed.

Making sure they aren't sticking at all?

And quality pads.

A swap to 2 piston calipers / carriers from Lexus / Rav4 is possible, but needs 328mm discs.

It won't give you a huge increase in stopping power, so I'd absolutely suggest you make sure your original calipers are as good as they can be first.

Cheers, Nev

There doesn't look or sound like there's any problems with the existing set up - no squealing or juddering, it's just generally a little underwhelming especially for a 3.5 V6

I am getting a service tomorrow so will ask them to have a look.

I am thinking a set of new EBC discs and pads and some braided lines is the sensible and economic solution.
