I changed the front pads today as I wasn't completely happy with the braking. Turns out I had EBC pads on there, I swapped them for Mintex pads.

I also bought the Kayaba upgraded shocks front and rear. I fitted the fronts and drove the car, handled so much better and actually stopped in a straight line for the first time! Not sure whether it was the new shocks or pads, but I'm not complaining. I noticed the CV boot clip had come off so that was replaced. Fitted the rear shocks too although not driven it to see the improvement. There were Unipart shocks on the front and Girling Decarbon on the rear - no idea how old they were but they looked knackered.

I might change the seat belts over in the next few days to some Mini Spares inertia type.
