[QUOTE="ichiwan2, post: 115865, member: 153"] Go for standard ATEs. At most get the slotted ATEs. Things to check: Brake booster Master Cylinder Brake lines Check for leaks in these. If u want more feel and progressive braking, get a better brake booster - say, from an e32 (if it can fit). U could upgrade your caliper to 4 pot (I presume the standard is the floating caliper type - does it have one or two pistons/pots?), without having to change the size of the disc. Or u could go spend a lot of money (5 figure region) to get brembo disc and caliper set. The EBCs provide improved braking only upon reaching its optimal operating temperature - which in normal driving conditions, will only happen relatively infrequently. You will find that the grip is less when the pads are "cold" than if u were running standard pads. If I were u, I would go for Jurids, Texstar or Pagid. Suggest u take it one step at a time until you are satisfied with the braking performance. [/QUOTE]
