i left ahead of the group from mcdonalds, got to fitness first then thought maybe i should follow everyone else so i doubles back, couldnt see anyone, so i goes back down the bay, still cant see everyone else, so gave up & went for a drive before retiring for an evening.

sounds like caliper binding, not good.

I get the opposite, mine fade when they get cold :eek: so slip road antics are just as bad, but they get better I guess.
P.S where were you saturday eh??

you push brakes hard and they don't bit, like they are fading, it's when they get to hot. I doubt you have though Kurty boy, back when my nova had the same brakes as your corsa it took a fair amount of abuse before they'd fade, but on track they woud only last a lap.

236mm, but aren't vented disc, you'll not gain any more power from them, but they won't fade out. Have you ever experinced brake though? IF not don't waste your moneys
