   Im replacing my rear brakes this weekend, and have found some Black Diamond discs and pads, at about £150.
   
   Anyone else got any sugestions on brakes? As perhaps i could get standard ones, from a bigger car that would be more effective?
   
   Thanks

   Rears only take about 20% braking power anyway so not worth bothering with, id concentrate on the front tbh

   Ok, this is what i figured but i have managed to warp the standard ones in 3 weeks, so was looking for something a bit more hardy. Also, not sure if this is relevant, but any ideas, why when i brake hard, does the rear left side want to come around the front? Is quite annoying
