hi guys well im thinking of upgrading my brakes on the fabia but i dont know where to start and how i would do it?

any help and advice?

got new alloys now what you guys think?

What model fabia do you have as the vrs hubs are different

Firstly why do you feel you need an ‘upgrade’, is it because you experience fade?

If not, if you never have fade then you do not need to change the brakes.

The standard brakes can trigger the ABS from any speed, this means the car cannot physically stop any faster (no matter how big the brakes) and the limiting factor is the tyres grip.

Brembo even say this on their website. Upgraded brakes are for on the limit (ie track) feel and fade resistance.

If you have no fade in your driving then don’t waste any money as there is simply no upgrade to be had.

If you do experience fade then this can be fixed (even for track use) by a set of Ferodo DS2500 or even DS3000 pads.

Do they do them for your car? Maybe not if it’s not a VRS, so then the upgrade would be VRS brakes first then the pads.

Again though…. If you don’t go on a track and don’t get fade in your driving style then do not waste money, your car will not stop any better.

!!!!!!!!!!!Spend the money on good tyres!!!!!!!!!!!!
