Hi everyone! this is my first post on your forum and i could do with some information advice regarding the brake performance of my TS2 1.3l. I have the black one seen here, my wife has a red one and father a blue one (all TS2 models). It's not that the brakes don't work, they do, but there is not alot of feel or confidence in they way they perform. I know this isn't a sports car, but wonder if anyone feels the same. My fathers previous Mazda 3 TS Diesel suffered the same way - Capable brakes, but didn't inspire confidence. Are there any aftermarket upgraded discs available for our model yet and has anyone fitted or tried them together with a suitable pad to give a bit more bite? Your thoughts/suggestions would be welcome.

Wrw has done a quality job, all those bits mentioned are on eBay (UK) at the moment.
They are not as expensive as I would of first thought either
