maybe my brakes arnt 100% who knows i shall just have to take chavyboy's out next month lol

I'd say they were defective if you feel you could not outbrake a Ford Anglia. The brakes on mine stop me very quickly at least in comparison to the majority of cars I've driven.

I think its just the crap design of the calipers on the Fabia...

the 312 calipers (or 288) have a much better feel, even without the motorsport pads

Agree with colin. The brake feel if much better with the 312/288mm calipers. Even swmbo noticed it when she park the car in the drive.

Saying that their still not as sensitive as the/her 1.2 16v dynamique.
