MY 450h needs new brakes.
My 450h needs new brakes and I was wondering if there were any recommendations. I will do it myself, but would like to hear if anyone has had any issues with replacement brake components both good or bad. I am looking for good quality high performance brake parts. This is a heavy car and I drive it hard from time to time (it's fun!!!).
Thanks for any input.

If you desire you can upgrade to a bbk. There is a thread in here about it, it won't affect the hybrid system.ine is below.

I used EBC RedSTUFF pads all round in my 450h, stops on a penny now! Only downside, I had my front discs skimmed as they were well within tolerance, and now the new pads (being slightly harsher on the discs) have warped them, so i get a nasty judder which means I'm now going to have to buy new discs! Doh!
So if you are upgrading your pads I personally would recommend upgrading to decent performance discs(rotors)!
Oh and if going for drilled, make sure its a reputable company that makes them and make sure the holes are countersunk as well as just drilled as this helps to prevent cracks occurring on the disc face!
