The brake upgrades section brings together three different types of product, performance upgrades such as braided hoses, uprated discs and pads, and complete brake kits, corrosion-resistant alternatives to the original specification such as copper pipe kits and a stainless ABS bracket, and the specialist tools and lubricants needed to service the brakes to a proper standard.
Performance & Corrosion-Resistant Upgrades
Braided brake hoses are stainless steel sets with a PTFE inner bore, supplied as a complete car set as a direct replacement for the original rubber hoses, restraining the expansion that causes a slight sponginess on the original items and producing a firmer pedal and more immediate response, with fitment covering both ABS and non-ABS cars. Copper brake pipe kits are pre-assembled sets providing complete rigid brake line renewal in a single package, a preventive maintenance choice for any car where the original steel pipes show signs of corrosion. The stainless ABS bracket is a replacement for the original ABS modulator mounting bracket, which is prone to surface corrosion due to its position in the engine bay, making the stainless replacement a fit-and-forget solution particularly worthwhile during any ABS modulator service. The servo brace is a chassis-stiffening brace that reduces flex at the servo-to-bulkhead mounting under heavy braking on higher-mileage cars, spreading the load across a wider area of the bulkhead and removing a subtle cause of pedal sponginess that hydraulic work alone does not address.
Discs, Pads & Kits
Uprated brake discs and pads cover EBC slotted-and-dimpled performance discs and EBC Greenstuff Kevlar-compound pads, catalogued for both the mainstream 240mm front brake specification and the uprated 304mm AP Racing specification fitted to Trophy 160, TF 160, and Sportpack 2 cars, along with matching rear options. Uprated brake kits offer matched disc-and-pad packages combining slotted performance discs with Greenstuff pads as complete sets, simplifying ordering when renewing discs and pads together to a consistent upgrade specification.
Tools & Lubricants
Brake lubricants are specialist silicone-based greases for caliper slider pins and pad contact surfaces, as ordinary lithium grease attacks caliper rubber seals and must not be used at these points, so a purpose-designed brake lubricant is the correct choice. Brake tools cover the specialist items needed for proper service including pipe bending tools in small and large sizes, caliper piston retraction tools including the wind-back tool essential for the rear caliper's handbrake-integrated piston, and hose clamps for safe caliper removal without fluid loss.
