Hey guys, after my last *cough* advanced driving course (that I never realised was basically a "drive as fast as you can day"), my brake pads glazed over, thus reducing braking power and efficiency. I replaced the brake fluid with higher quality Castrol (Dot 4) fluid.
Anywho, there is still plenty of pad left, I just want to know if it'd be worth de-glazing the brakes myself, using some fine sandpaper, or getting some better pads, which will hopefully be a little better than the original pads.
I saw in the other brake pad upgrade thread that a few guys have taken their pads off. Is that fairly easy? Do you need to bleed brakes and all that, or is it a simple switch?
