I believe all calipers and everything else is as standard and i dont plan to upgrade anything but the disc rotors.
The car is running a blue 202 with the variojet carbie.
I am looking for a more sport type pad as i do tend to drive it hard and dont want the brakes to fail on me.
Any advice is appreciated.

I do go to Winton Fun Days and give the brakes a work out there and best i can tell i get almost no brake fad when i do a few laps.
I'm running XU-1 slotted rotars on the front and stock drums on the back.

Hmmmm, slotted XU1 rotors and trick pads? I better make boy's car faster in a straight line then.Dattoman is much more qualified to speak on this than me, but i am running Ferrodo XLs which is what dattoman recommended to me. I am quite happy with the pad. No where near as much dust as the Bendix Performix that i had previously (which are also no longer avalible for the LC/Js anyways).

Been a while Lexa, but i think the Pad were around $50. (I think thats a pair) Its a lot better than the Bendix Performix pads... they were pushing $90.

You guys are getting most of the answers right nowdays
Saves me heaps of typing
For brake fluid buy anything with a higher boiling point than 280C thats not silicone
All much of a muchness nowdays.

I found the box for my pads while cleaning up the garage yesterday (And my parents get cranky cause i tend to hold onto things... but then dad does it too. ) Pads are Ferodo Excel, part number on the box is DB625XL. Just double check when you order them they are for the LC/J.
The box looks big enough for four pads so that might be ~$50 for the whole set Lexa.
