standard 2.0 pads are more than good enough, just upgrading to 2.0 brakes in general make a hell of a difference!!

i rang my local dealer ""partco" and they said £20 so i think thats a bargain as i got brakes for £20 also, calipers with pads slighlty warn bu dont want to risk it, and discs that are in good condition no lip etc. i know its a 1.0l but handling would be alot better knowing i have the stopping power :D

Im currently stripping the boot down, all so i can change the rear shocks, cant get nutgun in. To do rear shocks is it just case of using a nutgun to take top bolt off? Because the rubber bump stops spin with a ratchet. Anyone know?
