Hi all. The time has come to give the LTD a brake upgrade. I have been trying to research options on the net, but I am sure that just makes life more confusing. So far, I have looked at the PBR option and got a quote from Race Brakes in Sydney, only to find these are supposedly just slotted B series brakes. I think the term used was "taxi spec". Brembos are an obvious choice, but I am sure they are one of the most expensive choices as well!
Rather than beating around the web, I figured it was smartest to ask those in the know - you guys. Factors that I need to consider are obviously inital cost and more importantly maintenance costs - ie replacement pads and rotor wear/replacement. Any feedback advice greatly appreciated guys.
