Why upgrade the braking system?
This should be one of the most important factors to be taken into consideration before engine / performance modifications as the car could need the extra braking capability.
There are many Brake Manufacturers that can be used, however the 3G discs were better priced for me at the time, along with EBC Green Stuff Pads front & rear.

Ok so were ready, yes? Good here we go;
Release bonnet lock by pulling the handle inside the car, lift the bonnet and put the stand in its place, a groove marked on the bonnet inner skin / crumple brace.
Unscrew the brake fluid reservoir cap and keep to one side.
Loosen the wheel nuts on both wheels - do not remove them as you may need to lower the car to enable a good stay point for the axle stands later on.
Jack the car up at its specified jacking point, and place an axle stand underneath the chassis rail. Do the same on the other side of the car.
Make sure the car is secure and wont fall off or tilt to either side, forward or backward.
and now your car will stay like that until i next update it, its late im tired and had a long day.
to be continued....lol
