What's good for a Brakes upgrade?

Hi Heshan,
The cheap oem brembo replacements are fine. Almost all discs are perfectly suited for everyday ae86 use up to 200hp or so. There are no gains to be had by buying expensive discs so don't waste money there.
If your brakes hardly work then something in your systems needs an overhaul. My gues its either glazed pads or old fluid. Replace the fluid with a good quality dot5.1. Something that should really be a part of every 86s yearly maintenance scheme. Spend more money here and less on discs!
Glazed pads can sometimes be brought back to life with some sanding paper, though usually its easier to just throw in some cheap replacement pads.
