Ive had my lcr a few weeks now and altough its stopping okay the discs look a bit old and they look abit corroded

I dont know much about brakes so can somebody help me?

what are the standard brembos? is it worth replacing the existing ones or upgrading?

is it a big job to change them myself?

there is a guide to changing them i think.
it depends on how much you got and which you prefer really.
i looked at brembo discs n pads they aint cheap but if you want the best you gota pay for it.
i went for ebc tdg discs n yellow stuff pads they seem to be fine and not to expensive there are a lot of posts on here discusing this.
i watched my m8 do mine and it looks easy (LOOKS) but i aint no good wid stuff like that lol :shrug:

If you want a true upgrade that really is an upgrade look at the Badger 5 2 piece discs with DS2500 pads. Nothing else is worth calling an upgrade. Or get the Brembo discs grooved, run DS2500 pads with upgraded brake fluid.
Stay away fro the EBC discs, these are not an upgrade to speak of.

Are they a bit cr@p, even when Badger have worked their magic on them an grooved them?

Whats brake fluid do you suggest?
Each to their own but I don't think they are an upgrade.
Brembo discs with grooves cut in em with DS2500 pads and RBF600 fluid would be better
